Travel Warning Issued for Mexico’s Playa Del Carmen Ahead of Spring Break
March 9, 2018
The American government is issuing a travel warning for Playa del Carmen after an explosion rocked the area. The security alert bans all U.S. government employees from visiting the town, while tourists are told to use "increased caution.” The city, about an hour from Cancun, was rattled after a bomb went off last month on a passenger ferry, leaving two dozen injured, including five Americans. Less than two weeks later, undetonated bombs were found on another ferry owned by the same company.
