Mexican Caribbean Hoteliers Unite to Combat Drug Dealing

Posted on By No Comments on Mexican Caribbean Hoteliers Unite to Combat Drug Dealing

To combat the drug trade, the Hotel Council of the Mexican Caribbean has combined forces in order to keep tourists safer. This council includes associations of municipalities within the hotel industry. They will provide tourists with an information document to inform them of the legal risks of purchasing and consuming drugs.

The council has joined forces with the state to warn their visitors of the dangers of buying and consuming illegal drugs on Mexican territory.

The Tulum Hotel Association took this step first, giving each guest an informational document that they had to sign.

Toni Chaves said that these measures were put in place to keep tourists safe, but also to educate them about the laws and penalties they may face if they purchase or consume drugs. These measures were implemented by the Mexican Caribbean Hotel Council in collaboration with state authorities, security agencies and tourism authorities.

It is recommended that hotels present a document at check-in to tourists so they can be aware of possible risks. Most tourists do not know what could happen. The hotels are not required to follow the recommendation, but the council hopes that they will.

In addition to notifying tourists, the private sector has also joined forces with security authorities in order to fight drug trafficking. Police and federal forces have increased their presence on the beaches, along with checkpoints in the entire state.

Data from the Executive Secretariat for the National Public Security System shows that the authorities were notified of 441 drug-dealing crimes in January and February this year. This is a significant drop from the 2,202 reported cases during the same period in 2023.
