Effect on locals

"You folks are a drop in the bucket among the local population, and I'm surprised I should have to point that out to you, old timer that you are."
Read Below:

"The most important economic activity for the municipality is tourism, with the major attractions being the beaches. Most international visitors come between November and December and most Mexican tourists come in December, April, July and August. Seventy-one percent of the municipality's population is engaged in the commercial and tourism sector of the economy.[1] Outside of Zihuatanejo Bay, some of most important beaches include Quieta Beach, Majahua Beach, Playa Larga and others.[1][22] Prior to the 1970s, economic activity was based on fishing and agriculture.[2] At that time, the federal government decided to make a planned resort at Ixtapa, just north of the municipal seat of Zihuatanejo, constructed on what was once a coconut plantation and mangrove estuary.[13] It is a complete tourist center with a hotel strip three kilometers (1.9 mi) long, white sands, shopping centers, restaurants, nightclubs, golf courses, residences.[2][6]"

Apparently you totally missed the point that your entire website is for the benefit of the tourism trade. Go thru it and take out all the restaurants and hotels and what you have left is "squat"! Now it becomes a local rag for which most locals don't need any way!

And I am sure the only reason you have your site in Spanish is to capture Mexican TOURISTS!

Do you honestly believe there isn't a double standard on taxi fares? One for touristas and one for locals?

As I said earlier I don't bite for ludicrous false taxi rates either but 5 pesos is 5 pesos and it still doesn't buy much! Beats sticking up banks, street robberies, burglaries and drug sales.

So, now I'll finish packing for my 23rd visit to Zihua, also putting a couple of rolls of quarters in, to exhange for 5 pesos coins so I can pay the excessive exorbitant taxi fares. I think I will also throw away the big brown envelope full of eyeglasses we were going to drop off to your Saintly wife...........perish the thought that we might hamper the ophthalmology trade in Zihuatanejo.

Of course they will get dropped off, but you get the idea!

Really sorry that 5 pesos can crawl so deeply under some peoples skin!
