Tourists stand on balconies at a hotel in Cancun, Mexico May 1, 2009. The flu outbreak is hitting Mexico's tourism industry, which accounts for roughly 8 percent of the economy. Many groups of foreign tourists and students left the country earlier than planned due to the spread of influenza A (H1N1), formerly referred to as swine flu.
