Sinaloa to get its Cancun

Plans have been confirmed to continue developing a master-planned resort area at what now is being called Playa Espiritu on the shores of Sinaloa not far from Mazatlan. The sudden resignation by Fonatur’s general director had raised some doubts. Fonatur — the National Tourism Development Fund — will be in charge. Promoters predict that within 25 years, Playa Espiritu will be twice as big as Cancun. Skeptics note that with the exception of Cancun, none of the Fonatur projects have grown as they were expected to.
