Challenges remain in Mexico, as the virus is still very prevalent in this market. Working with associations (Film Chamber and APA) in Mexico, plans were put in place quite early to see how they could navigate the crisis whilst still maintaining service for their clients. They have to be careful on insurance as the borders of Mexico never closed and thus companies could still travel for business. Production companies are advising their clients of this for protection. Mexico has a multitude of riches for production such as culture, film, history, and a strong talent pool. The sector is supported by government organisations such as the Mexican Film Commission and Tourism Chamber.
