AmbiZIHón Que Perjudica

Maybe the government does not want Foreign Tourists in Zihua and all these changes are to attract Mexican tourists? Maybe we are being critical of the decimation of nature as this what they want, not what most of us want. Time will tell if there will be enough money coming in to keep the local shops open or they move to Ixtapa as business will follow money or they go out of business. Economics has a way of impacting the future.

Yes, I suspect after so many years of being dismal at doing their jobs promoting Zihuatanejo abroad and attracting foreigners that they're copping out for the easy numbers: it looks good on paper to say more people are visiting Zihuatanejo even if they aren't spending more. They won't attract as many tourists with the same purchasing power, but apparently they don't care if all the nice shops and boutique lodgings go out of business. They prefer MEGAPROYECTOS and gouging investors and pandering to the poor for the crumbs they hand out to them. Remember, politicians don't live from tourism, and a prosperous community is one that gets better educated and questions politicians when they don't do their jobs, while the poor and lesser educated are so much easier to manipulate. I've seen this movie before, or rather, I've lived it.
