Acapulco loses again

The Supreme Court has rejected a plea that Acapulco be allowed to keep the Tianguis trade show. Since the event has always been organized and paid for by the Federal Tourism Ministry, the court ruled that Acapulco has no claim to it. The event now will be held in a different venue every year, something that Tourism Minister Gloria Guevarra says should restore what has been declining interest. Acapulco authorities, for their part, have announced that they will organize their own version of the Tianguis.
