The 36th Tianguis Turistico ended Monday, although many participants — including Tourism Minister Gloria Guevarra — already had departed. This year President Felipe Calderón addressed the opening ceremony. In past years he waited until the last day, a gimmick that kept everyone on the premises until the end. Concerns about criminal violence in Acapulco may have limited attendance, although no figures have been announced. Once again, there is talk of holding the trade show — which always has been in Acapulco — in other destinations. As might be expected, folks in Acapulco are opposed to this.
