With so much circulating on social media and in the news about Puerto Vallarta, we understand why it may raise questions for travelers with upcoming trips.
It is important to keep perspective. Mexico is a very large country, and situations occurring in one region do not always mean the entire country is affected. Puerto Vallarta is on the Pacific Coast, while Cancun is on the Caribbean Coast. They are in completely different regions, separated by hours of travel. Roughly 1,300 miles apart. It is similar to comparing cities on opposite sides of the United States.
Media headlines can feel alarming, but official government travel advisories are what we use when determining policies related to changes or cancellations. At Five Star Travel Group, we monitor reliable, up to date sources so we can provide our clients with accurate information rather than speculation.
It is also a good reminder that awareness and smart travel habits are important whether you are traveling within the United States or internationally. We always recommend purchasing travel protection at the time of booking. It protects your investment and gives you options should plans need to change.
If you have upcoming travel and would like to review your reservation or talk through any concerns, please reach out to us at Five Star Travel Group. We are here to make sure you feel informed and confident about your plans.
At Five Star Travel Group, people always come first. We are keeping our friends, partners, and the local communities we care about close to our hearts and for peace, stability, and safety of the country we love so much.
