Russian Tourism to Mexico to Increase 400% in 2012

Russian Tourism to Mexico to Increase 400% in 2012

Earlier this month, we published a post speculating about aninteresting trend in tourism to Mexico. The theory goes something like this: The negative/slanted media coverage of Mexico pouring out of the US is hurting the Mexican Tourism industry, which has caused the industry to lower prices and offer enticing deals.

These deals are being eaten up by international travelers from outside the US, causing an overall rise in tourism to Mexico. A recent press release from the Mexican Government seems to be adding validity to theory, predicting Russian tourism to Mexico to increase by 400% in 2012.

2010 saw 27,137 travelers from Russia, which was an increase of 134% increase from 2009. From January to April of this year, Mexico has already welcomed more than 14,000 Russians, which is a 64% increase from the same time period in 2010.

Taras Kobishchanov, the President of the Association of Tour Operators of Russia, said that not only is Russian tourism to Mexico expected to explode in 2012 but that if this trend of growth continues, Mexico could be seeing about 500,000 yearly visitors from Russia by 2018!

Even more interesting (and important for Mexico) is that the average group of Russian travelers spends about 10 days in Mexico, whereas US travelers usually stay for only 4.5 days per trip. In addition, Russian groups spend an average of $1,000 dollars a day during their travels in Mexico.

According to the press release, “The most attractive destinations for Russian tourists are: Cancun-Riviera Maya (64.8 percent), the Federal District (29.7 percent), Puerto Vallarta (1.7 percent) and Los Cabos (1.6 percent).”

Russian travel agencies have reported that the Mundo Maya program and the approach of 2012 have sparked great interest among their clients. To capitalize on this interest, the international airline Aeroflot has announced that they will begin new flights to Mexico beginning October 3rd.

Needless to say, this new influx in Russian travelers is great news for Mexico as the country continues its march towards the Top Five International Travel Destinations in the World.

Mexico real estate has emerged as a safe bet

U.S.A. is hurtling from one crisis to another. It narrowly avoided a potentially embarrassing debt crisis only to be downgraded by S&P. This clearly signals that how globalinvestors now perceive USA as an investment destination. USA is confronting high employment ratesfor which it has no solution in coming few months. With no recovery in sight stock markets areawashed with negative sentiments and are tumbling every other day. For US citizens this is a peculiar problem. Stock markets which have been a huge component of their investments is not longer a safe option given its volatility. Real estate prices never ever recovered after the subprime crisis. They are short of any viable investment options at least in USA. In midst of all this mayhem and turmoil there is one placing which remains a solid investment destination now and forever. Mexico real estate has emerged as a safe bet for investors who are looking for not only stability but also potential returns in future. Recent drop in Mexico real estate prices are boon for those investors who have burnt their hands at US stock market and want to invest in a stable market with good potential upside. Naturally, a question will arise – US real estate prices are also low, so why not buy it there. The reason why US real estate market is not apt for investing right now is that prices in US market will be very slow to rise. There is a glut of inventory in the market and many foreclosures are yet to be put in to the market. So, if you want to buy real estate Solely for investment purposes and not as a primary residence then real estate in Mexico is the way to go. Mexico home prices are the lowest in last 5 years, interest rates are at an all time low and there are no foreclosure problems in Mexico. Mexico is a very popular destination for tourists and will remain so for a long time. Mexico is also a very rapidly developing country with a strong and resilient economy. This means that the demand for real estate will always be there and will only rise in next few decades. Another factor that makes Mexico such a good real estate investment option is that baby-boomers in USA have been severely affected by the recession and have seen erosion of their savings. In this scenario, it is difficult for them live off their savings for their entire life with same kind of luxury. Mexico is an inexpensive place to live. Retirees can enjoy a luxurious lifestyle with all amenities and facilities for a longer time. So, if you are an investor looking for an option to park your savings or a retiree who wants to prolong his savings, then Mexico real estate is the safest choice.

Medicare in Mexico, your retirement looks better and better everyday.

At my age, we are now just beginning to consider retirement. In truth, we struggle with what we can afford, how we will retire and the cost of healthcare and lifestyle in the United States. The big picture is gloomy and scary while we struggle in the current economy, and face the woes and fallout in the years ahead.




Mexico based Health Care is affordable for everyone, and although you have to provide your own pillow if hospitalized and the family is required to keep you fed, the reality is, with the recognition of more and more ex-pats and baby boomers fleeing to Mexico for a better quality of life or second income homes and partial retirement, the medical insurance game is changing South of the Border.



Mexico and the United States are closer to reaching a deal that will enable Medicare to cover the Mexican Hospitals. Year round warm weather, and affordable living make it the place to retire these days, and it is changing the way we (United States and Canadians) retire.



Felipe Calderon, the President of Mexico is planning to engage in a dialog with the United States regarding the benefits and incentive to having Medicare coverage for the Mexican based hospital system. His objective is to have the conversation when he arrives in the states on May 19 to visit Washington. For destinations such as Puerto Vallarta, San Miguel de Allende, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas, for example, where a record number of U.S retirees are said to be living, this is great news and brings with it greater value in the trend of living the “last chapter” of life in Mexico.



The US Joint International Commission ( their focus is on improving the safety of patient care through the provision of accreditation and certification services as well as through advisory and educational services aimed at helping organizations implement practical and sustainable solutions) will be required to certify the institutions and healthcare facilities of Mexico meet the standards of the United States, which is the next requirement for the coverage of Medicare. With 8 Mexico hospitals already certified, more are on line for the certification (See below for most updated list and location).



In Mexico’s growth plan moving forward, the objective is to see the 1 Million registered retirees grow to 5 million over the next decade. Medicare is the added incentive Mexico needs to create the draw and substantiate the value of retirement in the 31 States of Mexico. The United States Census reports that today we have a populous of 40 Million retirees, this number is projected to increase to 90 Million by the year 2050; about the time this blogger is finally, and seriously retiring. Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you, Mexico is on the list of destinations for when that time comes.







Already a destination for affordable aesthetic and cosmetic surgeries and gastric bypass options, Mexico is of great appeal for the medical vacation. This scenario allows the consumer to travel to Mexico, have procedure’s done affordably, and recouperate in the most beautiful and relaxing destinations in the world. With the United States already struggling with healthcare issues and the increasing costs of care, this is an enormous draw for the consumer, and the ideallic beach life, in which the average 2 bedroom home, on the beach is less than $200,000 and the cost of living from groceries to in home services are substantially less expensive, this makes the retirement option that much more alluring.



Mexico’s hospitals have come a long way in building standards and modern, state-of-the-art facilities are becoming the norm. With builders from the United States overseeing the projects in Mexico, offering expertise and knowledge to allow for a competitive healthcare facility, offering Medicare will increase the interest and appeal, knocking Florida and Arizona off the map for ideal retirement and putting Mexico right smack dab in the middle of the equation.



Mexico offers a quality of life that is no longer possible in the United States. Besides the average house keeper cost of $35 per day, the activities and growing communities create additional incentive. From affordable golf, endless water activities, excellent schools for advanced learning, and shopping and entertainment of the modern era, Mexico is re-branding herself as the avant-garde destination for retirement and a life in abundance, rather than living in the United States where healthcare costs rise exponentially, and activities, education and entertainment has become prohibitively expensive.



Mexico is changing the way we view her. She is opening doors to a modern world and a lifestyle option that is exemplary. From the perspective of the LGBTQ acceptance and right to marry viewed as legal nationally, to the affordable and increasingly modern health care revolution, it could be that in another decade we will see the immigration issues take a turn, and perhaps a role reversal in power on these playing fields. While Mexico may do business at a slower pace, and leveraged on relationship building and networking, she is neither ignorant, nor stupid, merely strategic and about to give us all some considerable surprises in how she stacks up to the rest of the world.
