Zih Transporte Acuática a la Alza

So they doubled the price of a water taxi, that’s it I’m done. We will be canceling our annual October trip. We went to Cabo last week. The locals were really good about wearing masks, even when exercising but not the tourists. It’s a bad place México is in, starve without tourists or have tourists spread the virus.

Just joking about canceling over 50 pesos but there was about 3 years we didn’t go when Alaska raised airfare from about $400 to $1,000. We just went to Cabo or Cancun instead. Hope it doesn’t happen again as the airlines are really struggling now.

I hear ya. That's the other part of the equation: getting here. It's too much of a drive for most folks, and we were more or less built around tourism that arrived by airline. That's why all our hotels all have inadequate parking. So if we we don't have adequate and affordable airline service it hurts our core tourism. With the carretera from Morelia and parts beyond we get a lot of families and buses, but lots of them are low budget tourists that simply cannot sustain our population of near 130,000. And when prices go up when there is no demand, it hurts all of us in the food chain. Apart from the internet, we still rely a lot on visitors' recommending us to their family and friends, but when they find prices have jumped or services are deficient, they don't recommend us, and I'm already seeing lots of the inland visitors complaining about this price hike, because it is the equivalent of taking food out of their mouth. They would rather have a nice meal on a different beach for that money than have to share a small expensive meal.
