I love this open letter - I know it's long, but it's worth the read:
I am appalled that each year that the powers that be send out scare tactics to the people that want to come to Puerto Penasco for Spring Break. Never ever do you send this information out to your students during the year at any other time. People are here every weekend to enjoy the beaches and all the great food, drinks and the fun and beaches that Rocky Point has to offer.
There is not more DUIs, stupid stuff, jail time and uninsured motorist that have any more problems than here in Mexico. People killed on ATCs, drownings from jumping in the water at let's say, Havasu, San Diego, Snow Bowl, the Dunes in Yuma, etc. Sensationalism is all part of your news and it hurts your creditability, tourism in the US as well as here in Mexico. Unless you know first hand, you should keep your fingers off of the computer.
Remember Florida when 600 people were killed a month because of the Cuban Drug Cartels? More people were killed than ever before here in all of Sonora, Mexico. Check your files.
I understand that you are trying to keep all of the money that is going to be spent in Mexico for Spring Break and keep it in the U.S. Lying and scaring people away from having a great vacation is not a honest and true way to help your students and the parents of those they support.
Yes, bad things will and always happen to those that do drugs, drive at night, hang out in bad places and look for trouble. Pick any country and that will happen...including and more sooooo in the United States. Look at your local news and U will see more in one day than you will see in Puerto Penasco. Geez, Hunting Beach has more deaths and problems than we have in our whole city all year!
I invite you to come to Rocky Point and meet all of the people here, the local Police, the Special Tourist Police that all speak English and visit the major local Spring Break attractions where all of your students and families come to see and enjoy. I will certainly pay for your accommodations and set up meetings with all of the local authorities.
Otherwise, if you will not come and see first hand for your report and news, I suggest that you stop reporting on Rocky Point and the security, Police and advantages of driving 4 hours to a great location on the Sea of Cortez.
Regards,
Gregg
