In recent weeks, several families who arrived at Mazatlan to enjoy some well-deserved vacation were victims of crime, who stripped them of vehicles, money and personal items. Fortunately, they did not cause physical harm, however, fear was spread and they would hardly think about returning to these lands to enjoy the beach. The mayor of Mazatlán, Édgar González, confirmed to reporters that he has at least five reports of assaults and extortions in the city and on the municipality's roads against tourists.
A CASE THAT HAS transcended social networks is that of a couple originally from Mexico City, who had their truck and money stolen, But they also took his pet, Rocky, a giant black schnauzer who is sick and needs to be recovered urgently. Criminal acts like these seriously affect the tourist destination, since the news went viral in the social networks and could influence the decision of people who had planned to visit the port.
MAZATLAN HAS positioned itself as one of the beach destinations with the highest number of national visitors. In fact, last Easter, statistics recorded a growth of 10 percent over last year. This situation forces the municipal president to request state and federal reinforcements to guarantee the safety of the residents. Mazatlan citizens and the people who visit us. González says that the problem is on the roads and the entrances to the port, because that is where they have to focus their batteries to prevent tourists from getting a bad image of this city.
