Hotel Charges that are in Dollars

Yup. nobody without a dog in this race would say that there wes anything "convenient" about rates in US dollars for a non-US destination. While our Cdn dollar is dropping, we get doubly screwed. For Americans, as their dollar has soared against the peso, they have benefited nada, nil, zilch because of greedy landlords.

I understand that some booking engines ONLY work in US dollars, and that Zihua is high on the attractiveness index, but tourism is fickle. I live and die by the tourism dollar but in a totally different market...and it matters not a bit.

If perceptions change, then so do income opportunities. When income opportunities shrink, profiteers are the first to lose out. Visitors that have received fair value for fair service will return and they will weed out the chaff.

It's easy to ride the popularity wave, but try to pay the mortgage when something happens to poison the well. I hope that NEVER happens here but if operators offer true value, then they are the operators that will have TRUE customers - not hotels.com or vrbo take what we can get customers. Just sayin.
