Foreign Travel Advice-Mexico Safety Travel Tips For Business Directors From The Security Executive
Mexico remains one of the world’s favourite holiday destinations for business directors, their associates and their families. However great care should be demonstrated to minimise your security risk. Any professional security executive will advise you that investing in a Mexico Safety threat assessment, to incorporate foreign travel advice & travel tips from a close protection security specialist can be a wise investment.
Despite the global recession, tourism is booming in Mexico. Angel Aguirre, the governor of Guerrero said that this holiday season has been very good for the state, since the three major tourist destinations had higher levels of hotel occupancy. This is clearly great news for the Mexican tourist board, but don’t be blinded by propaganda.
A little research by any security executive will outline incidents of grave violence occurring on a daily basis. Only after being made aware of actual security problems can business directors act on the foreign travel advice & travel tips provided by your security executive.
Although most of the incidents of violence are related to the war against Drug Cartel personnel it often spills over creating the deaths of many innocent bystanders.
Female business directors should take particular notice of the following security related information.
MEXICALI, BAJA CALIFORNIA Statistics show since 2007 to date, the percentage of murders of women in Mexico has increased, going from 1.8 to 10.11 per 100 thousand women. Some newspaper reporters warn that every day more cruel and degrading killings are committed against women

(Special thanks to the National Association Of Former Border Patrol Officers for Intelligence information.)
Travel Tips #1 Don’t Be In The Wrong Place
Avoid visiting areas housing police stations or military bases. Avoid rural areas.
Travel Tips #2 Trust No-One
Never accept an invitation to a party from people you don’t know really well.
Travel Tips # 3 Trust Your Gut Reaction
There is no such concept as 100% security. If something doesn’t quite feel right then trust your gut reaction.
Travel Tips # 4 Hard Currency
Always discreetly carry some hard currency cash notes. US Dollars are best. Corruption is rife and hard currency can often get you out of minor security problems.
Travel Tips # 5 Kidnap for Ransom
Ensure you have kidnap for ransom insurance. Many brokers offer this and its usually underwritten by Lloyds of London.
