Unrest in Mexico leads some Northeast Wisconsin travelers to question spring break trips

Описание: Recent unrest in Mexico comes as many Northeast Wisconsin families are preparing for spring break trips, including south of the border. Violence erupted in the streets of the popular tourist destination of Puerto Vallarta after the Mexican Army conducted a raid that killed Nemesio Oseguera, the drug lord known as "El Mencho." Cartel members responded to Oseguera's death by blocking roads, looting and setting fire to buildings and vehicles, prompting schools to close and shelter-in-place orders to be issued. While popular tourist resorts and hotels were relatively spared from this chaos, what happened in and around Puerto Vallarta has left many questioning their vacation plans. Rose Gray from Fox World Travel returned home Tuesday from her trip to Mexico. Like many tourists, she was forced to shelter in place during Sunday's unrest. Despite being a seasoned traveler, Sunday's events were something Gray had never seen. But by mid-week, according to Rhonda Matzke with Destination Travel, tourists she knows in Puerto Vallarta said things had calmed down. These recent events, however, come as many people are preparing to travel for spring break. Both Matzke and Gray say their clients are asking if they should still take their planned trips. "You can't live your life in fear, but ultimately, it's their decision. It's their money. It's their life. So, I just tell them, 'I'm here for you. I'll support you,'" said Matzke.
