After the number of Baja
California visitors dipped over the Thanksgiving holiday, tourism industry
representatives are urging state officials to take swift and decisive
measures to better protect American tourists who have been targets of
recent road attacks.
Tourism officials are scheduled to meet with state officials today in
Tijuana.
“We want to make it safe for visitors all the way from Tijuana

sworn in today as Rosarito Beach's mayor.
Torres, who also owns the Rosarito Beach Hotel, estimated a 30 percent

to Rosarito Beach and a 2.7 percent decrease in Ensenada visitors compared
with last year's Thanksgiving holiday.
