Cabo is safe. Follow the protocols and enjoy!

After the CDC issued a statement in late November warning Americans against all travel to Mexico due to a rise in total number of COVID-19 cases, it was encouraging to read that U.S. Ambassador Christopher Landau said on Wednesday, December 9, during a culture and tourism event that he’s seen how seriously restaurants, hotels and other tourism-related businesses take Covid safety protocols and that it gives him confidence that tourists can continue safely traveling in Mexico. The headline this morning read: “Traveling in Mexico is safe during the coronavirus pandemic if one follows sanitary protocols established by the destination where one travels, says the United States ambassador to Mexico.”
Ambassador Landau has been a strong promoter of tourism in Mexico and in a recent interview with a major newspaper said: “The most important thing is to stabilize the industry. I have been able to determine firsthand that by following health protocols, it’s possible to go — it’s important to go. Mental health is an important part of overall health. One can’t be confined at home month after month after month.” The ambassador spoke of the tourism potential of Mexico and said; “I congratulate the tourism sector for its spirit of responsibility. I understand very well that if there are outbreaks associated with tourism, that is going to affect them a lot. What I have seen is that they are managing a very difficult situation quite well,” he said.
And of all the places that have managed the situation well, Los Cabos has been an example for other tourist destinations for maintaining very proactive in its communications with consumers and commercial partners alike.
