Mitch Keenan is the owner and founder of the Yucatan’s oldest real estate company, Mexico International. Before moving here fifteen years ago, Mitch worked for Continental Airlines based out of Denver. As a flight attendant, Mitch traveled throughout South America, Asia, Europe and the United States. In this video, he talks about the relative merits of living in Merida and whether or not he feels safe living here.

The video was produced (by Eclectec SA de CV) to inspire people to attend a series of seminars that Mitch and his colleagues will be giving in cities around the United States over the next nine months. For more information about those seminars, visit the Mexico International website.

And while we’re on the subject of videos and Mexico, here’s one from the Mexico Tourism Board that just came out:

    Don’t mean to be snarky here, but ya gotta admit that this is a pretty wild statement:

    Mitch Keenan is the owner and founder of the Yucatan’s oldest real estate company.

    The Yucatan has been inhabited for 1000’s of years. Merida is almost 500 years old. And we have never had a real estate company here before?

    OK, you’re right. My bad. Merida’s oldest extranjero-owned real estate company. Is that better?

  3. Mitchell Keenan, CRS Says:

    Yeah, there were old agencies here when Miguel and I first opened. Those guys were A LOT older than us! Like ancient – old! Falling asleep in their chairs – old!
    Drooling old!

The San Francisco Gate published a piece titled  Swine flu fallout: Great deals on Mexico trips. The article includes individual deals in Mazatlán, Los Cabos and the Riviera Maya, and a lot of information about how the country is working to reassure visitors.   One of the most important quotes from the article is:

Mexico’s ultimate hurdle is not room rates, flu or even drug violence, but perception. You’re three times as likely to contract H1N1 flu in the United States as in Mexico. And the drug war’s front lines still occupy just five of the country’s 2,400 counties; most Americans caught in the fray were in the border towns of Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez and Nuevo Laredo.
