Emigrants rave: Why Mexico is the new dream destination!
Mexico has established itself as one of the most popular destinations for emigrants. A latest report from Northern Courier shows that emigrants not only settle in quickly, but also often develop a strong sense of home. The lively mix of North American lifestyle and Latin American influences attracts many.
What makes Mexico so special? The country, officially known as the United Mexican States, offers a variety of beautiful landscapes. Between the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean lie tropical beaches, majestic mountains and a vibrant capital: Mexico City. Thanks to this diversity, 79% of immigrants say they feel at home there - a clear difference from the 58% worldwide. Just a look at the numbers makes it clear why Mexico ranks at the top in the “Expat Insider” report.
A warm welcome culture
The Inter Nations survey shows Mexico in first place in the “Culture” and “Welcome” categories. The country also performs excellently when it comes to opportunities to find new friends (2nd place) and local friendships (3rd place). 88% of emigrants report a warm welcome. This is a warning sign for other countries, which often have to contend with lower levels of openness and friendliness.
A Dutch immigrant in Mérida describes how he particularly appreciates the slower pace of life as well as the friendly people and rich culture. The gastronomic offering, characterized by a mixture of Aztec and Spanish traditions, plays a crucial role here. Mexican cuisine is not only delicious, it also brings people together.
Challenges and opportunities
Despite the positive aspects, Mexico faces challenges. High crime rates and problems with political corruption are just as much an issue as social inequality and environmental issues. In recent years there have been efforts to increase security and improve the quality of life of citizens.
Mexico's economy is prospering and combines diverse sectors: from agriculture to industry to services. With a GDP of USD 1.8 trillion (nominal), the country is one of the largest economies in the world. However, there are areas where improvements are needed to strengthen the social fabric.
Overall, Mexico is a country full of contradictions, opportunities and beautiful landscapes, where most expats feel a sense of belonging. This makes it an exciting and attractive destination for new adventures - be it for a year or for a lifetime.
