You go, Mexico. It’s extremely rare that Mexico issues a travel advisory for their citizens visiting the States, but with Arizona recently passing one of the most strict immigration measures in U.S. history, it’s no wonder that Mexican President Felipe Calderón felt obliged to warn his people.
Calderón warned Mexicans against visiting Arizona, given the newly approved law, which may have a huge impact on tourism in the US state.
Some 24 million Mexicans visit Arizona annually, contributing nearly $2.7 billion to the state’s $18.5 billion tourist industry. On any given day, some 65,000 Mexicans cross the border to work, shop, visit, and inject $7.35 million into the state’s economy. If Mexican citizens were to follow Calderón’s warning in the roughly 90-day span before the law takes effect, Arizona could lose more than $500 million dollars in revenue.
The potential economic fallout from Mexico’s travel advisory is one more marker of the fact that the U.S. desperately needs emerging-market business–and that developing countries know it. Getting slapped with an “instability” warning is the last thing the U.S. needs right now. But as more emerging markets turn sour on America’s leadership potential and its politics, Mexico’s warning may be just the first of many to come.
The Northern Mexico states Durango and Coahuila have been added to the list of Mexican states that U.S. travelers should not visit.
The U.S. State Department made the alert after four recent American killings in those areas, in late 2009 and in early 2010.

If you’ve been looking for gay-friendly Mexico locations, we have the skinny for you. Even though Mexico is mostly Catholic and machismo is seen as highly important, there are many anti-discrimination laws in place.
Gay communities can be found in almost every popular tourist town, with Tijuana, Acapulco, Guadalajara, Cancun, Mexico City and Puerto Vallarta being the favorites so far.
Puerto Vallarta might be the perfect spot for you if you’re looking for a thriving nightlife scene but if you want to keep it low-key, try Acapulco.
