If used to be that for travel to certain nearby countries, a passport wasn’t actually required. However, in the wake of 9/11, security has tightened up and the laws are changing. If you’re planning an all inclusive Caribbean vacation or other travel out of the country in 2009, it’s important to know what the laws will be and how they will affect your travel plans.

Starting on June 1st of this year, the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (also known as the WHTI) will be fully implemented. This means that any travelers going to and from Bermuda, the Caribbean, Mexico, or Canada via air will need to carry with them a passport or other documentation that has been approved for the purpose of establishing identity and U.S. citizenship. From 06/01/09 onward, that will be the requirement to enter and leave the United States. Keep this in mind when planning your all inclusive Mexico vacation or other trip, particularly if you need to allow time for members of your party to obtain their passports.

Fort Meyers, in southwest Florida, was recently the site of an anti-abortion controversy. Rather than stage a direct protest, however, the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform used mobile billboards to spread its message. Perhaps hoping to leverage the “a picture is worth a thousand words” effect in a greater area, the group sent a fleet of moving ads around the city for four hours as part of its Key States Initiative, which includes similar efforts in Orlando, Ocala, and Sarasota, as well as other states across the U.S.

The mobile billboards depicted, in color, aborted human embryos and early fetuses. “These pictures are so disturbing, we feel when people see them, it will impact their perception about what abortion is,” said one member of the Center told NBC2 Online. “The whole idea is to educate voters about who that baby is and what abortion does to that baby. These pictures are real, first and foremost.”

Resident reactions to the mobile billboard advertising were varied. While some called the images “disgusting” and said that they provoked “a nasty feeling,” others were downright confused. One resident didn’t like the images but acknowledged the message behind them. “Some people don’t know how severe abortions can be,” Amanda Spisak told NBC2 Online.

No matter what your product or issue, mobile billboards are one of the most interesting and effective ways to reach your target audience. The Fort Meyers event is a case in point. It’s just another testament to the power of mobile marketing.
