These are the number of passengers for the first three months of 2015, leaving from MEX going to various destinations 410,009 CANCUN 363,181 MONTERREY 313,243 GUADALAJARA 160,079 TIJUANA 142,768 MERIDA 96,859 TUXTLA GUTIERREZ 96,373 VILLAHERMOSA 77,075 PUERTO VALLARTA 72,317 HERMOSILLO 70,293 CHIHUAHUA 68,229 VERACRUZ 61,385 SAN JOSE DEL CABO 59,123 ACAPULCO I have to figure that means the vast majority of people going to Acapulco are going by land. If we calculate that the majority of people going to Cancun are flying, I have to believe there is many more people who go to Acapulco as Cancun. I understand that violent protests have deterred some tourism there. |

Tourism is way down. Most of the people going to Acapulco are not going. I know several people with an apartment there who haven't visited in over two years. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I really liked Veracruz. Veracruz is almost completely invisible to the American tourist who are primarily concerned with Cancun & Mayan riviera, Puerto Vallarta and the Mexican riviera, Los Cabos, Acapulco and the close in destinations of Puerto Peñasco (nicknamed Arizona's beach), and Baja towns. Veracruz is not as visually spectacular as Acapulco or Los Cabos, but the beaches are nice, the restaurants are good, and it seems very friendly. As far as I know it is much safer. The riots in Acapulco have had little effect on the tourist area near the airport. |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Some other innovations recently considered by Airbus: Piezoelectric crystals embedded in aircraft skin so normal flexing generates sufficient power for all entertainment systems and battery charging. UAV swarms to rattle real birds and guide them to a sanctuary area away from the runway. Subrunway energy generation by weight of wheels automatically fed into airport power grid. Efficient, semi-automatic aisle food dispenser and trash sorter. |

And liquid waste disposal. If public toilets are restricted to solid waste only, that is extra space for seats that they can sell and increase profitability. |

Not good, these have all the signs of a management team too full of themselves and forgetting their core product. The President is a fink. |
