Dallas Adult Entertainment: Spring break to see fewer travelers
Whether because of America’s sagging economy or the surge in drug cartel-fueled violence in Mexico, more Reno college students plan to stay closer to home as spring break starts today on many campuses, said the director of the Associated Students of the University of Nevada.
Even travel industry representatives who used to come on campus to push hot destinations and to paper the campus with posters have backed off this year, said Sandy Rodriguez, ASUN director.
“This has been a very atypical year,” she said. “Usually, companies will send travel agents, mainly from Mexico and Florida, but those companies have been almost nonexistent this year.”
As UNR students go on spring break, some other universities around the country are warning college students to be wary if they’re headed for Mexico after the U.S. State Department issued a travel alert on Feb. 22.
The alert didn’t advise spring breakers not to go to Mexico but urged them to take such common-sense precautions like avoiding areas of prostitution and drug dealing.
