The rape of six Spaniards staying with six compatriots in a bungalow on a remote Acapulco beach may well ruin Mexico’s chances of attracting more European tourists. Police hope to find the gang that also robbed the visitors, but comments by Acapulco mayor that “this could have happened anywhere,” have not helped. Only last week government and private sector groups attended a tourism fair in Madrid, expressing hope that vacation travel from Europe to Mexico will increase. “We can forget about that now,” said one tour operator, who asked that his name not be used.
