How much should crime risk factor into a Mexican winter getaway?

The latest killing of a Canadian visitor to Mexico has again raised concerns about the safety of tourists in Canada's favourite winter getaway outside Florida.

Robin Wood, a retired mechanic from Salt Spring Island, B.C., was shot Tuesday while resisting robbers in a friend's home in the town of Melaque, near Puerto Vallarta.

So far, there are no reports of Canadians cancelling their Mexican holiday plans. A spokeswoman for Kelowna, B.C.'s airport said Wednesday all four of the day's flights to Mexican destinations were full, AM1150 radio reported.
