Cozumel Mayor Joaquin Gonzalez has announced that a firm headed by Donald Trump will invest $60 million to build a 1,000-room resort with a golf course and a marina on Mexico’s largest Caribbean island. Hilton, he added, also will be coming in with a 200-room resort being built at a cost of $5 million. This may be a major change for Cozumel, which was attracting tourists long before anyone had heard of Cancun. Once a favorite with scuba divers, Cozumel lately has become better known as a prime port of call for cruise ships. Almost all resorts on the island now are all-inclusive. What precisely are the plans of The Donald have yet to be announced, but apparently the project will keep him so busy that he cannot run for president.
