Mexico is often up and down in the parade of travel destinations. One “off” story in the news can derail the country’s reputation and, therefore, it’s fortunes. There are any number of reasons why this happens, and many of the reasons are political and not always in Mexico’s hands, and not in its favour, unfortunately.
