11 Reasons You Should Never Visit Mexico (BuzzFeedYellow)

Despite warnings by the State Department, Americans traveled to Mexico in record numbers last year.

Mexico was the top U.S. international destination last year, with a record 25.9 million visitors from the U.S., up 24% from the previous year, according to the latest data from the U.S. Department of Commerce.

"U.S. tourism to Mexico has increased in large part due to Mexico's concentrated effort to improve its accessibility," said Frank Cordova, tourism secretary for the Mexican state of Sinaloa.

"Travelers have felt welcomed through the country's rapidly exploding number of direct flights, and the hotels, conference centers and tourism destinations springing up throughout the country," he said.

The surge in visitors to Mexico was part of an overall 11% rise in international travel by U.S. residents last year, according to the federal agency. A total of 68.2 million Americans traveled abroad, including 30.8 million who ventured overseas.
