FYI:
Communicating Zika to Pregnant Clients
I’m writing to strongly encourage you to have frank conversations with pregnant clients about the risks associated with visiting destinations where the Zika virus has been locally transmitted by mosquitos.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now has “Alert Level 2” advisories in place for many popular sun destinations, recommending that travelers “practice enhanced precautions” when traveling to any of the countries reporting locally-transmitted cases of Zika.
More critically, “out of an abundance of caution,” the CDC specifically recommends that “pregnant women in any trimester should consider postponing travel to the areas where Zika virus transmission is ongoing.” While the Zika virus has virtually no impact on the health of those bitten by infected mosquitos, a link has been made between severe deformities among thousands of babies born and their mothers who had mosquito bites.
The countries and U.S. territories where locally-transmitted cases of Zika have been reported by the CDC now includes:
• Barbados
• Bolivia
• Brazil
• Cape Verde
• Colombia
• Dominican Republic
• Ecuador
• El Salvador
• French Guiana
• Guadeloupe
• Guatemala
• Guyana
• Haiti
• Honduras
• Martinique
• Mexico
• Panama
• Paraguay
• Puerto Rico (A U.S. Commonwealth)
• Saint Martin
• Samoa
• Suriname
• U.S. Virgin Islands
• Venezuela

Beyond this rapidly growing list, the World Health Organization (WHO) is cautioning that with the exception of Canada and Chile, every country in the Western Hemisphere – in North and South America – will eventually see locally-transmitted cases of Zika.
Since December 10, we have been equipping you, our valued Vacation.com members, with talking points on Agent Universe over the growing concerns the Zika virus poses to pregnant individuals. As each public health advisory has escalated, we have been continually updating our talking points to reflect the most current and relevant information, both from the CDC and the WHO, along with information on waivers offered by various suppliers ranging from airlines to cruise lines to tour operators.

The La Quebrada Cliff Divers are a group of professional high divers, based in Acapulco, Mexico. They perform daily shows for the public, which involve diving 35 metres (115 ft) from the cliffs of La Quebrada into the sea below. The depth of water in the "Gulch" can vary from 6 to 16 feet depending on the waves, with an average depth of 12 feet. Timing is crucial for the divers. During the night, they often hold torches while diving. Acapulco cliff diving was regularly featured on weekend sports television programming in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s when the USA High Diving Team competed with the La Quebrada Cliff Divers annually during the Acapulco Christmas Festival. The 2002 Guinness Book of World Records lists this as "the highest regularly performed headfirst dives" in the world.

Although cliff diving at La Quebrada had taken place for many years, it was not until 1934 that the La Quebrada Cliff Divers was formed. One of the more famous Cliff Divers was Raoul Garcia. Swiss bigband leader, pl***oy, club owner and hotelier Teddy Stauffer (1909 - 1991), the man who is credited with turning Acapulco into a world class resort, (and for some time managed the El Mirador Hotel at La Quebrada) actually turned the boys, who were diving from the cliffs there, into stars, some ten years later. He is remembered as "Mr. Acapulco" to this day.

The 1963 Elvis Presley film Fun in Acapulco brought the cliffs to worldwide attention.
