What happened
Jamaican travel to Mexico has more than halved between 2022 and 2025, dropping from a peak of 16,190 air arrivals to 7,090. This decline continued into 2026, with only 2,466 Jamaicans entering Mexico between January and May. Conversely, stopover arrivals from Mexico rose 9.7 per cent year on year in the same period.

Why it matters
The decline in Jamaican travel coincides with tighter US border enforcement, which has intensified pressure on Mexico to restrict migrant transit. In response, Mexico has implemented crackdowns, affecting the travel experience for Jamaicans.
