Mexico approves $42 fee per cruise passenger, raising concerns over impact on tourism.

Mexico's Congress has approved a new $42 fee per cruise passenger for port visits, even if they do not disembark. The Mexican Association of Shipping Agents warns this could make Mexican ports less competitive compared to other Caribbean destinations. Two-thirds of the fee revenue will go to the Mexican army. Critics fear this could deter cruise lines and impact local tourism economies.
