Yes indeed, it is long past due for the Mexican people to take care of business and clean house. If the additional massacre of 43 student/teachers and the 'disappearing' of outspoken clergy is not the final tipping point, I don't know what is. After all, WTF do these low life 'bad asses' think they are? Viva La Revolucion!I know this is off subject but it' JimMcG's fault
I do not know if you are following it, but the Iguala killings have focussed a very intense light on the whole issue of Mex. Gov. complicity and inaction in the internationa press. There was nothing new about the killing, almost the exact same thing has happened in Iguala in the past. Through a convergence of current factors, social media being a big one, including the persistence and bravery of the families of the students demanding action, this has resulted in a generalized interest and reporting international. Other more recent shootings have gotten widespread coverage. although belatedly. The fossas, mass graves, of Gerrero near Iguala, are being excavated and hundreds of bodies have been uncovered. Families of the disappeared are finding their voices, crying for justice. Everything has been blamed on cartel to cartel killings and so to be ignored, not investigated, no convictions. There were many thousands of innocent victims.
For example, the recent assasination of a Catholic priest who, from his pulpit, denounced the cartel thought reponsible for the killings in Iguala, Rev. Gorostieta, resulted in over 200 news report hits on my news crawler the very next day. From all over the world. Literally hundreds of priests have been killed in Mexico over the years and thousands 'disappeared', without a whisper in the international press.
Also recentley declassified NSA docs have added to the fire. It's agood fire and hopefully will burn brightly and turn at least some of the corruption to ashes.

Not really. When you ride dirtbikes for sport I don't think we call it an accident but I was riding my dirtbike May 30th 2010 and I fell over by Cholla Bay and never got back up. I'm an L2 paraplegic however I have regained some use of my legs. I never bring my wheelchair to Rocky Point because I see it as a liability to get stolen. I only come with my walker when Im in town. I don't have any ill feelings towards Mexico. I do wish some things were different. The. "not releasing someone for medical care until they give you money" is frustrating especially with a Spinal Cord Injury in which every minute counts but I guess I shouldn't complain because I was fairly fortunate and I've heard many stories where others were hurt in Mexico and weren't so lucky. I guess a word of advice to anyone that rides or rents recreational vehicles. This is not America in which you get treatment first and the bill later. In Mexico, the bill comes first and then you are released for treatment. This needs to be understood as it could severely impact someone's life.

The truth is that Mexico's tourism has been increasing in the last few years, despite of what heaters are saying, most of the people that talks trash of Mexico have never been nor they will be visiting Mexico, they just say what they have heard through the telephone lines and you folks know how that game ends, a bunch of know nothing about nobody nowhere!!!!
Mexico is what it is, if it cleans its act and becomes another USA clone then what is left is not Mexico but USA bato loco!!! again third world countries are a few decades behind what the USA citizens are use to in a daily basis, and that is what makes this world SOOOOOOOOOO interesting, forget about Mexico and travel out there more, go to Africa, middle east even Australia will show a couples of world in the same place you will never dream of seen in one place!!!!!
Most people in USA has the power, financially, to do what ever they want and go wherever they want, unfortunately the great majority likes to have someone else do their decisions/thinking/deducing for them rather than arrive to a conclusion by themselves, it is easier to turn to TV or radio to "SEE" what is going on in the world and they just take it as TRUTH because the gov of USA can not LIE to is citizens, please no labels here, both Reps and Dems LIE and that is the truth!!!!!
Is not a matter of us tourist/mexico lovers to change Mexico, Mexico will change Mexico, we tourist enjoy it for what it is, if you expect something else then obviously you are in the wrong place at the wrong time or it is not for you PERIOD>

REMINDER # 2
The fucking Wall street guys put a STOP to it with no problem, the economy is getting stronger and hopefully things will get back to the original plan, remember the ECONOMY was a world wide hit not only in MEXICO!!!!!

Well, yes and no, they built because they had and agreement with the local gov. of PP, where Grupo Vidanta offered the land to the gov, to build the new airport, of course again with the economy, the move was to bring the tourists as close to the Mayan as possible to make that the first stop and hopefully the only one, if you have seen the original plans of the master plan for the Mayan development it would have been done by now but again because of the economy!!!!!
In other words the great USA financial gurus screwed it for the rest of us ALL OVER the world!!!!!
There is A LOT more than just a private airport!!!!

No special permission at all, all they count on is the nice people in front of the line to let them in as the magnet sign says:"...due at airport...." whether they are or not gong to the airport, the passengers as well as the driver have to show passport and get checked too!!!!
The last spring break I worked the waiting was over 8 hours and it took us less than 5 minutes, all the students, full van, applauded!!!
The only time the passengers have to change vans after crossing the border is because the mexican van or american van do not have the necessary paperwork to go across the border, Tufesa or Albatross buses that cross the border do so empty, passengers have to walk thru to show documentation then embark in the other side.
In my case the passengers even had to take their luggage with them through customs
OOOPPPPPSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! this was suppose to be inside information damn it now you know three!!!!!! AQF

It wasn't just the economy. The airport was finished in 2012. In 2009 there was bad press because of the swine flu. In recent years it was all about violence in Mexico. I'm no fan of the Wall Street gurus either, but there are other factors as well. What about all those AeroMexico flights jn 2013? Those biweekly flights originated in Guadalajara, stopped in Hermosillo, then Penasco, then to Las Vegas. Where were all the middle and upper class Mexicans? No flights at all in 2014.

When it comes to have fun it is the same all over the world, if a new growing touristic center is advertising for the masses but it does not have all the entertainment that other finished touristic centers have then most if not all tourist , local or foreigner, will go to were the fun is, wouldn't you???
No demand no flights, no matter where they are coming or going!!!! economy 101
The violence in Mexico was the Ace that the USA gov, use to try to keep the dollars at home while the economy recuperated, remember the timely manner those pesky WARNINGS use to come out at??????
The middle to upper mexican class was either in Cancun, Carmel, Playa del Carmen, Cabo, Loreto, Acapulco (not as much as it is cartel headquarters) Tulum should I mention more mexican paradises like places that most tpourist visit Mexico during the last 6 years??????
People we need to use more real information and get away from statistics than just show that statistics!!!!
Penasco has many issues to resolve before real economic growth will come. Roads from within Mexico need to be vastly improved so the city is more accessible and there needs to be enough demand for flights to come into our airport. If 80+% of Penasco's tourist business continues to come from Arizona it is likely the status quo will continue. Penasco desperately needs a huge influx of visitors from all over to help grow the local economy. In order for Penasco to be an appealing tourist destination when compared to others in Mexico activities need to be developed and promoted beyond our beautiful beaches. Think organized tours with a set place, published materials, etc. Additionally not all visitors want to stay in a condo or casa. The complete lack of higher end hotel rooms in Penasco with a single contact point does not help to make it easy for first timers to determine where to stay.
