Doubt on a section of this article

[edit]

Read the third paragraph on Tourism, under Economy. Notice the part that says "Acapulco's reputation is that of a high-energy party town, where one can have dinner at midnight, dance until dawn then relax in the daytime on the beach crowded with sexy bodies in bikinis." (I'm pretty sure that this should be reworded... any thoughts? 189.224.141.148 (talk) 02:12, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Overrun by narcos, once-posh Acapulco is in agony

[edit]

Rival criminal gangs have hijacked this glitzy-but-faded Pacific resort, where the Hollywood Rat Pack once sipped martinis, Elvis filmed a musical comedy, Elizabeth Taylor wed (again) and starlets danced the night away.

Acapulco's newest arrivals are drug lords, and residents now cower from shootouts and keep a watch out for severed heads. Some visitors to the city simply vanish. Gunmen seized 20 Mexican men in broad daylight on Sept. 30. They haven't been seen since.

Occupancy rates have plummeted along the ghostly boulevard of beachfront hotels. Restaurants sit empty — or shuttered up.

The mayhem hasn't dulled the beauty of Acapulco, set on a semicircular bay flanked by mountains alive with bougainvillea, a stunning backdrop that made it the nation's oldest and best-known resort, "the pearl of the Pacific."

Violence has cast a dark cloud on many of the city's 800,000 residents, however.

"Everybody seems to be armed," said Areli Garcia Santana, a 22-year-old orthodontics student. "There are gunfights all over."

Even residents accustomed to the growing violence are spooked.

What about the murder rates?

[edit]

I came here to learn about the abhorrent gratuitous violence in this city as reported in the news, but I found a giant section in the article about tourism, but the word "murder" isn't found once in the entire article. Needs updating! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:87F:B32F:10BF:A964:613D:36D1 (talk) 01:41, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
