Was travel to Mexico down already due to violence?
Long before the influenza virus, I remember overhearing some people talking about how they were not going to Mexico on vacation.

State Dept. alert

Does anyone know if travel to Mexico was down? (e.g., college spring break trips, trips during kids' spring school breaks)

2. NPR said it was actually starting to bounce back for future bookings until
the virus.

3. I have a cousin whose company was having their annual trip
(a reward for the employees) at some resort in Mexico, and they cancelled it due to violence, well before this flu stuff.
