Get a Free Vacation In Mexico – Or Die – Or Both
Well since nobody wants to go to Mexico because of the Swine flu, Hotels on the Caribbean are offering FREE vacations for 3 years if you contract Swine Flu while you are in Mexico. The reason is Swine Flu is killing Mexico tourism.
58 people have died from the Swine Flu as of this writing, and probably 58,000 have cancelled their trips to Mexico. Sites like Expedia and Hotels.com are offering penalty waivers for clients who do not want to go due to the Swine Flu, as are hotels.
This is now known as the Flu Free Guarantee. If you have symptoms 8 days after your trip you get 3 years of free travel to Mexico. Over 5,000 hotels are involved in this promotion. They really want to grow confidence in the Mexico tourism.
They have also published letters sent to the United States Government to lift the warning on traveling to Mexico. My question is, right now is this the best time to do this? I mean what if there is a severe impact. Forget the three years of free travel, what if people take them up on this offer and cause the spread to get worse.
News Media Blitz
SWINE FLU REACHES THE TOP OF THE CHARTS
When I left work last Friday afternoon I had never heard of the Swine Flu, It did not exist in my world. When I woke up on Monday morning Swine Flu was #1 with a bullet on the News media’s list of hits!
Watching the News was worse then listening to some top 40 Radio Station where they play the same songs over and over again! On Every Channel all they where talking about was the Swine Flu, Where it came from, How you could catch it, They where talking about quarantining people all over the Country. My God I though this sounds like the end of the world this must be the plague that will end man kind!
How many Americana’s have died from this? I wondered as I sat there on Monday Morning watching the News. I could not find out how many were dead, was it Hundreds perhaps thousands? I waited for the Reporters to inform me of the amount of casualties! It never came just more talk,scary words and sayings.When I got to my office I looked it up on my computer to find no Americans had died at the time and only 6 or 7 Mexicans had died from this disease.
