Ixtapa Trailer Park

According to the local news sources, there was no one using the park, "for several months," but over the Easter holiday, there was a "significant" number of people using it, including tents, trailers and RV's.

Hopefully this means that there is hope. The news article also mentioned that there had/have been discussions of changing the place from an RV park, but that this may stop those.

Here is the GoogleTranslate version of the article: After several months without receiving tourism of any kind, the facilities of the Ixtapa Trailer Park operated by Fonatur, registered an increase in the influx during this Easter holiday period, especially from national visitors.
Sources revealed that during the weekend the 60 percent capacity allowed by the authorities was reached and for this Easter week, the presence of visitors represents 36 percent.
Inside you can see people with their tents, as well as campers and buses, who choose this lodging option located in the Linda beach area.
This rebound in use leaves an incentive for Fonatur because even long before the pandemic, the Trailer Park was already operating in the red, without being attractive to tourists.
It had even been contemplated that the federal agency or, if possible, could be concessioned to an individual to become a beach club.
When the health emergency arrived, in principle there were damages but after the reopening of the beaches little by little the visitors again turned to see this modality because it does not concentrate the same number of people as a normal hostelry.
From this moment on, Fonatur hopes that the preference for the Trailer Park will continue to increase, to assess whether resources are invested in improving this concept of accommodation or giving it another twist.

Maybe there is hope for it!!! I'll post any more information that appears.
  • "My gut feeling as well, but what is happening in India is alarming."

    Please keep in mind that India's population is 1.19 billion people. On average 26,000+ people die every day in India compared to 8,000 people dying every day in the US. 2021 population of the United States is 332 million people - a fraction of the number of people in India.
  • True enough, but it is still a big risk for emergence of dangerous mutations.
  • One thing to consider is the emergence of a dominant non lethal mutation. It is sometimes speculated that that is what ended the 1918 pandemic. It is not in the intersts of the virus to kill its host.
