Hotels on Mexico's Caribbean coast offer free holidays for three years to any tourist catching swine flu while on holiday there, in a bid to counter swine flu's blow to the industry.
The A(H1N1) outbreak in Mexico, from which 58 have died, has sparked mass cancelations of tourist bookings to one of the world's top tourist destinations.
The flu's impact, including on tourism, was expected to cost Mexico's economy around 2.3 billion dollars, around 0.3 per cent of gross domestic product. |
