Visitors to Cozumel repeated, last week, that Cozumel is a very safe vacation destination.
People that have visited Cozumel know it is quiet, secure and family-friendly, but the subject of safety in other parts of Mexico has been in the news recently following the U.S. government's latest travel advisory.
Mexico's president, Felipe Calderón, was in Cozumel, yesterday, to announce that the island will host part of the 2013/2014 Clipper Round The World Yacht Race.
The world famous regatta will see exciting activities centered around the island's new marina, which is expected to be operational in the next two months.
There is only a week to go until the start of this year's historic El Cedral Festival in Cozumel.
April 28 to May 3, 2012, will see a celebration of rodeos, bullfights, music, dancing, feasts and more, all centered around the old village of El Cedral in the south of the island.
