While news of violence in Mexico continues to grab the headlines, tourists are returning to Mexico after years of recession.

Most of the drug related violence in Mexico is in border towns and regions far from the beaches and all inclusive resorts. While there is always a concern over crime and violence no matter where you are, there have been no major incidents of violence in Mexico's vacation destinations.

As the economy continues to improve, more people are planning vacations and heading to all inclusive resorts in Mexico. Recent months have seen a 20% increase in visitors to Mexico's beach towns. All reports show that bookings for future months will outpace last year's numbers.

If you are thinking about a vacation in Mexico, this is probably the year to go. Many resorts are still offering reduced prices to lure tourists. As the economy improves and resorts fill up, many of these deals will no longer be offered.
