The 4,000-seat convention center, 800-room luxury hotel, 100-store shopping mall and exposition facility known as Mundo Imperial near the Acapulco Airport may finally be ready by mid 2011, according to Katty Rodriguez, sales manager for the facility. In 2008, the Tianguis Turistico officially began at then-unfinished Mundo Imperial and speculation began about whether the annual trade show would be moved there once it was completed the next year. A worldwide economic decline stalled things, but, says Rodriguez, work is moving ahead.
According to local tourism officials, Acapulco today is a Mexico City playground. Where it once was international — before Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and all the others — Acapulco now depends on the domestic markets for 90 percent of its business.

I am Canadian but live here in Acapulco... it is really the best undiscovered (well, it was discovered in the 50s but then forgotten about since the 80s) place in Mexico! If you go, stay at this amazing boutique hotel called Las Torres Gemelas Private Suites (LTGPS.com). Also you can buy beachfront condos with all new furnishings, flat screen TVs, hooked up to US & Canadian satellite HDTV for under $60,000 at AcaCondos! (AcaCondos.com)
