The Mexican Navy plans to take over the aging Acapulco Convention Center, converting it into a command center. The Navy has a base in Acapulco, but needs larger quarters now that it has the responsibility for combating organized crime in the area. The center originally was built for the 1971 convention of the American Society of Travel Agents and later was the venue for the annual Tianguis Turistico trade show. Efforts to keep it going as a convention center or entertainment center with cafes, restaurants and night clubs generally have been unsuccessful.
