Not trying to start a fight in here.
The sargaso aside (that's what I think has been the biggest killer)
In general I would say that in my experiences Canadians and Europeans generally don't carry the same negative projection towards Mexico or level of entitlement towards Mexico as Americans. They tend to blend in far far better.
They don't have the "this is Mexico so everything should be cheap because everyone is poor" belief and they tend to go with the flow much much much better than Americans. Americans overall I would say are some pretty rigid thinkers out of the box.
I've never once heard a Canadian here say "well this would never happen in Canada" or "In Canada…..fill in some derogatory remark".
They also don't act like Mexico has no laws. Overall, they're far better behaved PLUS the government loves them because they tend to take longer trips and spend more money.
I think it's a lucha between - spend a lot of money to try and change the perception of Americans that Mexico isn't a budget resort and is evolving into a more premium destination or spend a lot of money on people that dont have that perception to change and are willing to pay a premium.
They also aren't politically charged up about Mexico and as this thread shows, politics plays a role in people's vacation choices.
Pretty much every single person on here has said crime, cost, and sargassum are the reasons they aren't going. How is that politically charged?
It wasn't… until he made it that way. Don't argue with an ostrich. Us dumb, entitled Americans just can't see how premium Mexico is becoming as a destination.
Seems like his mind was already made up. High price =/= Premium to me.
Yeah, I think I've read the same sort of drivel from the same individual when talking about Texans and the state of Colorado. User names may change, but the high and mighty pontificating doesn't. It's actually quite hilarious. "I'm trying to help the Mexican government figure out why travel is down and how we can fix it, what are your ideas?"...Then he proceeds to come out with all the answers to the questions he "sought"
input on, and it's basically Americans are spoiled and entitled butt holes with unrealistic expectations about Mexico.
I remember when he was telling all us Texans what idiots we were for living here and not Colorado.
Isn't he one of the Nichols scammer clan?
Yes
