Mazatlan and Sinaloa state officials have sent out statements to travel agents, tour operators and the press insisting that Mazatlan is committed to tourism safety. Last week some cruise lines said they were cancelling calls at Mazatlan, long a favorite port of call along the Pacific Riviera. On shore, three passengers reported that they had been robbed. Officials noted that the recent incidents involved only property theft, adding that the culprits have been located and detained.
No mentioned was made of Mike DiLorenzo of British Columbia, who was struck by a stray bullet in Mazatlan earlier this month. DiLornezo told Canadian newspapers that he still believes Mazatlan is safe, adding that, “The same thing could have happened in Vancouver.”
