Mexico
Zihuatanejo Bay photo by: Rick Jacobson The twin resorts of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo are located on the Pacific Coast of Mexico 144 miles northwest of Acapulco along the coast known as La Costa Grande.
Ixtapa is a government-planned resort of high-rise hotels, designer shops, gourmet restaurants, golf courses, and popular nightclubs. Planned at the same time as Cancun, it never has reached the same popularity.
Zihuatanejo is a thriving community that has grown from a fishing village. It is composed of a natural bay surrounded by several beaches. Zihuatanejo has a more authentic Mexican flavor and a large selection of inexpensive restaurants.
The two towns, just four miles apart, make the perfect combination for enjoying the best of both worlds while on vacation. Contributors change by giorgio change by rickjacobson change by cccdebbie |

I've been strongly against illegal immigration to the US but have encouraged many Americans to vacation in (Cozumel)Mexico (you can check my answers)-am I just confused, correct in my seemingly conflicted views or nuts? Would an American travel boycott of Mexico (and maybe Mexican products) force their government and their wealthy elite to raise wages and create a better standard of living for the average Mexican in their homeland (thus reducing the need/desire to come to the US),or, would it have the opposite effect by causing more economic hardship to the "average Jose" thus increasing illegal immigration into the US?
