The low number of people crossing the border at the checkpoints between Tijuana and San Diego is related to the precautions taken by workers in the United States but living in Mexico, in light of possible immigration changes in the new administration of Donald Trump, said Karim Chalita Rodriguez, president of Cotuco Tijuana.
However, he mentioned that this situation has not affected the arrival of tourists from the United States to the city, particularly from the south of the state of California. He pointed out that normally during this cold season the number of visitors to Tijuana decreases.
Chalita Rodriguez said that in terms of the medical tourism sector, they estimate a decrease of 4 percent, but the official figures will be released in the coming weeks.
