As a Southern Californian, and a guy who's been to many, many parts of Mexico over 100 times at least in the last 20 years, I can tell you for a fact there's no way I'd go to Mexico again until they get their shit together.

Tourism is ALL Mexico has, less their exports to the USA for cash flow. It's big money.

Someone better get that shit under control fast or Acapulco and every other tourist destination is going to be a ghost town.

I can remember being in Cabo and Puerto Vallarta about 2 years ago and the locals in both of those tourist towns are hurting. PV lost most of the cruise ship dockings thanks to Obama and the US Government during some of that turmoil back then. Cabo is hurting as well.

Seems like it's all imploding on itself tourism wise. It's a shame. It's such a great place to vacation.
