Money back for visiting Mexico

HOPING TO ATTRACT more recession-wary Americans, Mexico in June will begin reimbursing the value-added tax charged on purchases made at stores and businesses throughout the country to tourists who arrive by air and cruise ship. Mexico's Ministry of Tourism said in a statement that starting in June tourists will be able to use kiosks at five major airports -- Mexico City, Cancun, Guadalajara, Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta -- to reclaim the 15% VAT they've paid on goods totaling at least $115 (1,200 Mexican pesos).

In order to qualify for the refund, the purchases must have been made at approved stores and businesses with credit cards or debit cards issued outside of Mexico, or in cash. Tourists must present their passports when making their purchases and obtain a receipt and an official refund form from the approved merchant. The tax credit will apply to shopping, not to purchases on meals and lodging. Visitors will be able to get half of the VAT in Mexican pesos, up to a maximum of $955 (10,000 Mexican pesos). The rest will be credited electronically to visitors' credit cards or bank accounts within 40 days. Starting in 2009, the program will be phased in at other major airports as well as at cruise ports. The more than 21 million tourists who visited Mexico in 2007 spent $13 billion, making tourism the country's third most important source of revenue.

Is flying cheap a thing of the past?

Flying is by far my choice when traveling long distances. I remember my last driving trip to Disney World when the kids were very young. We left at 8:00pm and drove all night. The kids slept almost the entire way. The drive back home was during the day and almost miserable. The kids were restless in the back. OK, they were fighting; your kids don't fight do they? Everytime we stopped, we lost an hour trying to get everyone back in the car. It actually took 2.5 hours longer to get home than it did to go to Florida. From that day, I decided to determine my Disney trips based upon when we could find cheap flights. Flights to Disney are about 2 hours long. You can actually be in Disney by the time that we lost on our return trip.

Last April, we had roundtrip airfare from Nashville to Orlando for $68 per person! This is a total price; taxes and everything were included. Are those days gone? The discounts on airfare have become very scarce. Delta Airlines have increased their fares 14 times already this year. Many airlines are adding extra fees to their fares. It's hard to really know what you are buying online. I received this email today that talks about the "5 Airline Fees You Should Know About". If you are booking your own airfare, make sure you understand what is happening with your tickets so that you don't get caught paying more than you expected.
