Mythbuster

I suspect the prices are shown in USD because the primary market is for the U.S. tourist. It's called target marketing. And, yes, it would be a simple matter to state the price in MXP with a link to a current exchange rate for the USD--and the CN$ and the Euro and the --oh, whatever.

Then we could all start complaining that distances should be based on the meter, weights on the kg, etc., etc., etc., ad naseum.

Or we could focus on real issues like parking on the sidewalk or the wrong side of the street or walking down a public forum with an open container, or light up that cig in a restaurant, or let dogs run loose on a beach or bark all night or---or---or

Therein lies the great myth and the perfect smokescreen for greed.

Regionally, over 80% of our tourists are Mexicans. Of our foreign tourists, this year the Canadians are the majority by a long shot. Over 65% if I recall correctly a recent report by local tourism officials.

I just checked a few random hotels around the world. I saw they either list their rates in their local currency or they offer a drop-down box where you select your currency and it's automatically converted. None offered rates exclusively in dollars including those lodgings where U.S. citizens are their primary market.
