The US Government puts out travel advisories for countries around the world.
Currently as of August 20th, 2009, The US government has issued a Travel
Alert for Mexico and NOT a travel warning advising people to delay travel to the
states of Michoacan and Chihuahua. Rocky Point is located in the state of
Sonora. The travel advisory further indicates that you should stay in tourist
areas and avoid areas of drug trade and prostitution. The complete travel
advisory can be read here. www.travel.state.gov
A travel alert is when the government feels there is a short term danger such as
hurricane, natural disaster or danger such as a coup. The current travel alert
for Mexico comes with a caution to be careful and avoid areas where
prostitution and drug dealing may occur.
A travel alert is different from a travel warning. The travel warning is when the
government feels certain dangers exist that are protracted and/or more severe
than a those eliciting a travel alert. As of March 11th, 2009 there is not a travel
warning to Mexico. You can go to www.travel.state.gov for current information.
The problem in Mexico right now is a conflict between rival drug lords who are
vying for control of certain drug trafficking routes. A recent increase in violence
and murders between these rival drug factions has caused a lot of media
coverage. About 6000 murders occurred in Mexico in 2008, primarily between
drug traffickers and between drug traffickers and law enforcement.
Unfortunately, occasionally innocent bystanders get caught in the cross fire.
This is an increase from 2000 murders per year in previous years. The worst
cities are Juarez, just south of El Paso, Texas and Tijuana just south of San
Diego California. There has also been some Activity in Nogales Mexico which
is south of Tucson, Arizona. Rocky Point Mexico has been spared this infamy
and as of March 11th, 2009 Rocky Point Mexico is not mentioned in the
government advisory as a hot spot for problems. The border town that you
cross to get into Rocky Point is the town of Sonoyta. Sonoyta is not mentioned
as a hot spot for problems either.
Crime statistics for murders in the United States compared to Mexico are much
worse. To put this in perspective there are 18,000 murders in the United States
every year vs the 6000 in Mexico. It is the sudden increase in violence in Mexico
that has caused most of the increase in media attention over this matter. For
