2010 Spring Break at Cancun, South Padre Island and Jamaica

2010 Spring Break: Spring Break Teens and Canadian Tourists Return to Cancun, Mexico

2009 is so gone. Students on Spring Break do not want to think about the year that killed their entertainment plans. The world-wide scare provoked by the 2009 swine flu kept many Spring Breakers at home and near their home school campuses. But 2010 is a different year. Students on Spring Break want to go their regular fun pits. They want to go back to Puerto Vallarta, Cancun in Mexico, Florida, Texas and Jamaica beaches. It is true that the fear of the swine flu in the other places was not as magnified as that of Mexico. Nobody wanted to die to have fun. That is why the beaches of Cancun were deserted. 2009 will be remembered as the year of the swine flue epidemic, the increasing drug violence in Mexico and the full-fledged global economic crisis.

According to various reports, February saw 85 % of Cancun's 28,000 rooms filled. Many attribute it to Cancun's quick recovery from 2009. Others attribute to the good fun that awaits thousands of U.S. and Canadian teens and college students from the US and Canada. They want to beat the cold. They want to be where it is cool. For example, Oasis Hotel has been a popular spot for many years. The Swine Flu affected it last year. This year is different. Spring Breakers from the U.S. Midwest and Canada are filling its rooms.

So far, Mexican Tourism officials are expecting more than 25,000 Spring breakers to descend on Cancun's rebuilt beaches and turquoise blue ocean. There is going to be a regular flow of tourists who visit all the time too. Despite the bad news that comes with drug violence in places such as Guerrero, in the Northern states, many spring breakers will follow the parties organized by MTV. The Pacific Coast resort of Acapulco paid MTV $200,00 so the network can host its spring party there this year. The drinks are flowing. All parents hope that their kids will drink reasonably.
