Baja California Sur at Level 2 in U.S. Travel Advisory

Level 2

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs has raised the travel advisory for Baja California Sur to Level 2, warning its citizens about potential risks associated with activities classified as “terrorism” in the region. This type of advisory can have significant repercussions on the destination’s safety perception and, as a result, negatively impact tourism in Los Cabos and other cities in the state.

Paúl Valdiviezo Pérez, president of Coparmex, stated that business chambers will work to ensure Baja California Sur remains one of Mexico’s and the world’s top destinations so that tourists continue to feel confident traveling to the state.

“I believe that the alerts issued by President Trump’s U.S. government are not really the main issue; we strongly reject the notion of terrorism. I think insecurity is a global concern, one that even Mexico faces. With these announcements, our priority is to establish dialogue, demand coordination, and bring together municipal, state, and federal governments precisely so these alerts are no longer issued,” said Valdiviezo Pérez.

Impact of the Advisory

• Tourism impact: Baja California Sur relies heavily on tourism, especially in destinations such as Los Cabos. A travel advisory has the potential to deter visitors, affecting hotels, restaurants, and service providers.

• Public perception and responsibility: As this advisory is categorized under “terrorism,” it may raise concerns among both residents and travelers.

• Immediate relevance: This news directly addresses an external factor with immediate local consequences, both economically and in terms of public safety sentiment.
