- The swine flu threat is diminished and part of being a leader is becoming an agency for change — by showing the world and the industry (and hopefully its customers) that it's safe to travel to Mexico.
- (It's been a tough time for Mexico, whose travel industry has been severely hobbled by the swine flu advisory, to the point that hoteliers are slashing prices 50 to 75 percent in an attempt to lure customers.
- Carnival, reportedly the largest cruise line in the world, is showing courage and itself as an industry leader by going back to Mexico.
