Considering that one of the major economic sectors in Mexico is tourism, if tourists get less pesos for their dollars, and tourism goes down.

It also isn't good for Mexicans whose relatives send them money from the US.
Interesting points. :light:

I honestly have no idea how much attention tourists pay to variations in the exchange rate; it's never been a factor in my own decisions to head to Mexico.


In my case, inflation (north and south of the border) plus a strong peso has made a difference in how, and where I spend my money.

I admit in my forum signature that I could have done better if I tried, but being retired with no debt, and a fixed monthly income, I have been getting by with a few extra dollars for things like Baja runs.

This trip has been different in that I am making far fewer side trips, far fewer restaurant outings, and shop only as necessary.

Gasoline has been by far my biggest added expense.







If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
