Average Vacation Expenses in Mexico
7.15%
— value growth in dollar since 2017
Been thinking of heading south of the border? This summer would be a good time to consider Mexico as your vacation destination: in the past year, the dollar has increased in value by 7.15 percent against the Mexican peso, possibly over an uncertain future for NAFTA and other U.S.-Mexican cross-border policies. A strong dollar has made already affordable across-the-board prices of meals, recreation, and commodities even more budget-friendly.
