Explosion worries Riviera Hoteliers


A gas explosion, which killed several guests and injured several more at the luxurious Princess Riviera Maya, has the hospitality industry worried. There is a fear that the disaster will scare away potential customers. The Canadian Consulate in Cancun is accusing the hotel with the negligent homicide of the five Canadian tourists who were among the dead. The hotel association is asking federal tourism officials and Mexican consulate abroad to explain that the explosion was an accident and not the result of a terrorist attack.
