Good News on El Homeport

Antonio Berumen Preciado, Coordinator of the State Office on Tourism Promotion Has admitted that even if the Feds release the 300 million pesos needed to " complete" this turd they are expecting it to be a small ship port..THIS IS HUGE NEWS!!!!!! My guess is the rumor is true that one large cruise line studied the sea bottom and thinks it is too risky to come North of Guaymas for half the year.

From local male cheerleaders Rocky Point 360:

"The COFETUR Coordinator detailed, without discarding the possibility of large cruise ships, activities could begin with smaller tourism vessels with 100 to 300 aboard that would depart from Puerto Peñasco and travel to other ports along the Sea of Cortez."

So in summary even if they get the cash the dead whale catcher may just become a asset rather that a border clogging,sea polluting,empoverished ( both criminals and just poor people) southern Mexican magnet. Picture Windjammers and Nation Geographic dockings or even the Sea Sheapard Heros having it as a homeport!

I've always thought the smaller eco-tourism nature cruises would be a perfect fit for our homeport. The SOC is the perfect setting and the smaller ships wouldn't impact RP's infrastructure as severely. Also could raise awareness of the unsustainable fishing techniques that are destroying the sea.

Numbers not looking good in Mexico. Not good news for the homeport.
The case of Tampico serves as example of what’s happening with the country’s harbors: even after several cruise lines showed interest, the harbormaster and the federal government lacked the funding for dredging that would have provided the necessary depth that would allow ships to dock". That will be a issue in RP for sure....

What we have to do is very clear, bet on our force, Betting on our country, betting on what we can do in Mexico, undoubtedly we are living in complicated times, but I also have to thank the enormous opportunity I have had to generate a relationship, beyond anything else, very Important with my neighbor, the state of Arizona ??

I believe we have the opportunity to grow through a very important tool, and it is tourism, to bet on growing up around us, to visit our country, to visit our state, "he said.
During the meeting the "Improve your hotel" program was presented, where Bancomext provides financing to small and medium entrepreneurs for the remodeling and rehabilitation of facilities, in addition to the "Connect to tourism" program, which seeks to increase domestic consumption And the improvement in the quality of services and products.
In Sonora have been placed 98 million pesos of a total bag of 140 million pesos for small and medium hoteliers in the different destinations in the entity.

The authorities also visited the construction site of the Home Port, which presents a 2% advance in the dock and 55% in the escorella, with an investment so far of 491 million pesos, which also highlighted the potential of Puerto Peñasco to have a Convention Center, International Airport, connectivity with Baja California Norte and Baja California Sur, Sinaloa, as well as 5,000 rooms available to receive visitors.
 
Mexico needs a small business loan program. The problem is that the historical lack of land or home ownership and title leaves little for collateral.

Whenever I hear talk about "the wall" it makes me wonder if those in power have heard of an invention called " the ladder"? How many times have you seen those homemade ladders in Mexico? $10 operation to crirumvent billions to build "the wall"?
 
Hey Ernesto..........

Especially if the escaleras are made of wood, the ten million volt wires on top shouldn't even be a problem, just jump!

Funny thing though, all of those idiots doing all that moaning and groaning aren't even aware of the fact that from California to west Texas the "WALL" has been there for years now. It's a rare occasion that somebody ever gets over it, they just go around it.
