The U.S. government also warned in 2022 that citizens should not travel to the Mexican states of Colima, Guerrero, Michoacan, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas and Zacatecas due to crime and kidnapping concerns. The state of Guerrero is home to the popular tourist city of Acapulco.

Additionally, the State Department has told Americans to "reconsider" travel to seven other states, including Baja California, which is home to the popular tourist areas of Ensenada and Rosarito.
The tourist haven of Turks and Caicos also experienced a surge in violent crime in 2022. The U.S. State Department has issued a Level 2 advisory for Americans traveling to the island nation.
"Exercise increased caution in the Turks and Caicos Islands due to crime," the State Department said in early October, closer to the start of the crime wave. It also warns that traditionally, crime has risen in the country around the holidays and has added a "C" crime indicator warning there is a "moderate threat" in the country due to violence and the presence of organized crime.
