And they say Mexico is dangerous...

Holymole, what I'm saying is that the Canadian and US news media and our governments have been saying how dangerous Mexico is for us tourists and you barely ever hear of warnings for other destinations that are in fact really dangerous and have issues with violence against tourists on a regular basis but still popular with many. The DR and Jamaica are the top 2 places in our hotspots for violent crimes against tourists. Mexico is nowhere close to these destinations but gets the brunt of the negative reporting when in fact there is little violence against tourists happening, especially when you compare the numbers of tourists visiting all these destinations with Mexico still way ahead of all combined other hotspots...
