Even as fears of COVID-19 subside, concerns loom about violence in regions at the heart of the nation’s heritage tourism.
Such tourism is promoted by governments all over the world, particularly by Mexico via Mexican consulates, including the one in Dallas. But for Mexicans, this is about reconnecting with the past but also the present. They visit relatives and friends as they work to keep their cultural and language ties to the motherland intact.
During Christmas, Holy Week and other holidays, Ruben Ramirez and other North Texas residents coordinate as many as 120 trucks, vans and cars to head south to Mexico, believing there is safety in numbers. Passengers board the bus at the Transportes San Miguel bus terminal in Oak Cliff on March 10, 2022. Transportes San Miguel offers daily service to Mexico, and is offering a special promotion to families who want to travel there for Spring Break.
Mexico’s central bank said remittances — the money migrants abroad send home to their relatives — grew by 27.1 percent in 2021 to total about $51.6 billion for the year. Since 2008, Perales, a native of Zacatecas, and her husband, originally from Guanajuato, carefully plan every minute detail of their trips into Mexico.
The alternative — not visiting her home near San Miguel de Allende — is unacceptable, added Perales, who recently planned a return to Mexico by plane.
