Mexican resorts continues to woo travellers scared off by swine flu by offering some incredible savings on family and couples vacation packages.
Hotwire's Travel-Ticker.com has handpicked nine Mexican vacations that are being offered at incredible savings and are located in resort areas generally unaffected by the swine flu virus.
"This summer through the fall, we're seeing resorts in Mexico offering incredible discounts - up to 50 per cent off regular retail rates," said Barbara Messing, Vice President of Travel-Ticker.com. "And that's not all: hotels are doing back flips to attract tourists by including complimentary incentives such as room upgrades, wine therapy sessions, airport transfers, romantic dinners, private plunge pools or resort credits. Amazingly, some resorts are even offering free vacations for your kids, where they can stay, eat, and play at no charge."
