Mexican Resort Offers Free Trips If You Contract Swine flu

Posted by samzenpus on from the your-next-stay-is-free dept.

A group of resorts in Mexico are offering a unique incentive to tourists who have concerns about catching swine flu. The vacation properties are offering 3 free trips if you contract the flu when you visit. "The 'Flu Free Guarantee' represents our certainty that Mexico is a safe and healthy destination," said spokesman Alex Zozaya. Industry insiders say the campaign might lead to other disease based-discount plans such as a free dinner with every case of dysentery.
