A meetings industry leader released a statement addressing the recent concern about the safety of holding meetings in Mexico.
“The Mexican government continues to positively battle the illegal drug industry in its country and surrounding border towns in conjunction with the U.S. government,” said Adam Lawhorne, president of Meetings Incentive Experts. “The areas of concern are geographically located a far distance from the tourism beach destinations and therefore do not affect the safety of these areas…The misrepresentation by the U.S. State Department and local media unfortunately create an incorrect unrest in perception with our beautiful destinations.”
