Are you curious about what travel is like in Mexico these days? Mexico is one of the only places that has remained almost completely open to Americans throughout 2020.
What should I know about traveling to Mexico?
- You cannot drive to Mexico as the borders are closed, but you can fly to Mexico
- There are no testing or quarantine rules that you need to adhere by
- You may be subject to a health screening upon arrival
- Travel insurance is not required, but highly recommended in case you get sick on vacation. Better safe than sorry!
What should I know about resorts as of today?
- Make sure to check if your destination has the Safe Travel Global Safety & Hygiene Stamp or has a comprehensive plan for Covid. What is the stamp? The World Travel and Tourism Council created the stamp to ensure regional destinations and individual hotels comply with globally-standardized hygiene and sanitation standards, which includes requirements like mandating masks, creating social distancing regulations, and encouraging good hygiene. Cancun was the first destination in the Americas to receive the stamp.
- Hotels are only able to have 50% max occupancy, so they shouldn’t feel over crowded or uncomfortable.
- Staff were always wearing masks, sanitizer is everywhere, temperature checks at arrival and menus by QR code.
- Other Guests may not be wearing masks, but most activities will allow you to social distance if you are staying at the resort
What is open in major cities like Cabo San Lucas, Tulum, Riviera Maya, and Cancun right now?
- Restaurants, barber shops, open-air parks, and gyms are limited to 50 percent capacity
- Markets and supermarkets will operate at 75 percent capacity
- Shopping malls, churches, cinemas, theaters, museums, and cultural events will be limited to 25 percent capacity
