We pay attention to our client’s physical strength. While senior travelers can be very active and energetic, as an Acapulco tour guide, we pay attention to their physical strength. We consider more small breaks during the sightseeing tour. We mind if they have problems with stairs or climbing. If our clients have mentioned illness or inaccessible activities in advance, we do put it into consideration when designing the tour itinerary.

We are prepared with the variety of topics. As we know senior travelers gain more life experience and they may be interested in many aspects of local life as for example, how to cook local foods, how people live, how long do people work normally.

We love listening to senior travelers and discuss the aspects they are mostly interested. We know senior travelers would love to share their own experiences and knowledge so we listen with respect. This is also the fun part being an Acapulco tour guide. We meet various people, hear their stories and learn from their life wisdom. When we find any particular topic our client is interested in, why not expand the discussion along the way? We ensure senior travelers a great personal sightseeing tour.

Please find translated the press conference statement from the Federal Police when a security operation started almost two months ago (October 11th 2011). The Federal Government instated the “Operation Safe Guerrero” program, this security program is coordinated by the Federal Police with the State and City law enforcement agencies in Acapulco. The program is very well planned out, not only does it contemplate stopping criminals, it also has rehab centers, road side assistance and monitoring of all tourist related areas, including the main strip, scenic road and the Diamond Zone. The results are encouraging since they have already reduced crime by 60% in the first month, detained a major crime lord and daily arrests are being done.

The “Operation Safe Guerrero” actions will be active for several months more according to a statement by President of Mexico made in Acapulco just few days ago when he said that one of the priorities of his government in our state is to keep the Federal Police Forces as long as is necessary in Acapulco in order to maintain security and recover, as is already now, the tranquility of its citizens and visitors.

In November 23rd a summary of the last press conference statement from the Federal Police detailing the results of the Operative “Safe Guerrero”, and also a few events over the weekend that made our City thrive once more with domestic tourism.

Operation Safe Guerrero.

The Federal Public Security Secretariat reported that in the framework of “Operation Safe Guerrero”, officers of the Federal Police have arrested, from October 8 to November 18, 2011, 136 people linked to criminal groups operating in the City of Acapulco.

On the same note, in order to eradicate extortion and kidnappings, the Federal Police through the Anonymous Citizen Report System 089 (similar to 911) received 111 crime related reports of which organized crime is the first place with 28 complaints followed by drug distribution points with 21 complaints.

As part of the actions of “Operation Safe Guerrero” that contemplates the institutional work of the three levels of government, members of the Federal Police in coordination with municipal authorities of Acapulco verified 10 commercial establishments, of which seven were closed, these inspections were made in the implementation of the operation “Bars and Canteens.”

In the fight against piracy and smuggling eight slot machines were seized, 46,824 pieces of illegal music CD’ and Movie DVD’s and six people were arrested. The following seizures were also achieved, 131 vehicles seized reported as stolen and 32 vehicles had overlapping license plates, altered serial numbers or could not prove their legal status in the country.

Murder decreased by 85% compared with the start of “Operation Safe Guerrero” (Oct 1st to Nov 22nd)

Public Events in Acapulco

We recently had a miners convention with over 10,000 visitors, a very successful domestic holiday a few weeks ago and in October.

In the weekend 18 to November 21 Acapulco held major events such as Telehit TV Awards, an Airshow with aerobatics demonstrations in the Bay of Acapulco, Puerto Marques and beach area along the Diamond Zone, The Acapulco´s International Film Festival 2011 (FICA) with big movie stars such as Alain Delon, Sofia Loren, Paz Vega and the most important Mexican actors visited Acapulco to receive awards , Alejandro Fernandez (Mexican singer star) offered a 2 day sold out concert and an occupancy rate of 80% over the extended weekend of November 20, (Revolution Day), Authorities are expecting a 95% occupancy rate over the Christmas and New Year’s Holiday.

The Tourism Authorities in coordination with the City and State Government are planning many interesting projects and investments for 2012.

Perception is improving and tourists that have visited Acapulco have completely changed their perception and had a wonderful time.
