Hotel guests locked out


On Monday, newspapers printed complaints from several private sector tourism industry leaders grumbling that the government is not doing enough to promote travel to Mexico.

Also on Monday, “Travel Weekly” ran a report that started this way:

“More than 150 guests at the Radisson Paraiso Hotel in Mexico City were locked out of the hotel for two nights last week — some without essential medications — by striking union employees.

The report was quite extensive. Many of the guests were Americans, in town for a wedding. As far as I know, nothing about the event appeared in the Mexico City press.
