American and European SpringBreakers Stay Away From Acapulco, Mexico: 2011 Turns Out to be a Bad Year For Aca

This is 2011. The Mexican tourism industry is doing everything to lure tourists, specially foreign springbreakers to the famously popular beaches of Acapulco. After all, Acapulco has long been associated with the great bods of Hollywood and countless American, Canadian, and European springbreak revelers.
Who does not remember the wild stories of spring break at Acapulco, Mexico?

Yet, this year, despite all the efforts by Mexican tourism authorities, the famous hotel grounds and beaches are mostly empty. If it was not for Mexican local tourists, Acapulco would not see much business. The main reasons most people are citing are the fact the economy has been in recession. Secondly, they are also saying that they do not feel comfortable going to Acapulco this year especially after the drug-related murders and decapitation that occurred in Mexico. Yet, many insiders will tell you that these deaths have nothing to do with the famous beaches and hotel chains. Only those who are associated with the drug carter have something to fear. Despite all the travel warnings issued by the U.S. and other foreign governments about Mexico, a large group of Acapulco lovers who have been vacationing there for years decide to brave all the negative perceptions and news.

Once they get to Acapulco, they realize that they can have the best service from the staff. They are free to roam all over in very uncrowded areas. The young springbreakers are not there to create issues. But despite this new feeling, they miss these kids. What is SpringBreak without the behaviors issues shown on the beach and in hotel rooms trashed out until security personnel shows up. Well, it was just a few cases of having too much to drink and partying for far too long without supervision.

American college students always go back to this yearly ritual. They want to break free from parental supervision or from any adult supervision. They want to behave a la New Orleans Carnival! They want to revel, dance and party until the next day.
