Federal, state and local officials along with a group of business leaders headed by Carlos Slim have joined together in an effort to restore Acapulco to its former glory. Once the only international resort destination in Mexico, Acapulco long ago was overshadowed by Puerto Vallarta, Cancun and many other seaside playgrounds. Latest blows have come from violent battles between warring drug cartels. Now plans call for everything from new parks and another museum to improved public transportation and a 10-mile-long tunnel beneath traffic-clogged streets.
