Canada imposes Visas on Mexico. Another blow to Canadian Tourism.

While I cannot blame the Government of Canada for imposing visa restrictions on Mexico due to the excessive number of refugee claims, I am very upset and disappointed for the timing of the measure. We are in the midst of a bad recession and tourism businesses need all the tourists we can get. We normally see about sixty thousand Mexican visitors in July and August and this measure, if it's effective immediately may strike a fatal blow to tourism businesses that depend in large measure on Mexican tourists (eg receptive tour operators). I know my business, which was already struggling will get hit very hard.
