Mexico turns to tourism to bolster economy

Imagine blue water, a clear sky, and a city that comes to life a night... Imagine being in Cancun.
The article that I found is about Mexico and its tourism. In the article they talked about Mexico, specifically Cancun, and how it is a well known vacation spot. They talked to a 21 year old female college student who said that her friends already booked their flights this year to go to Cancun. I was curious so I went to Travelocity and look up how much it would cost for one adult to go to Cancun over Concordia's spring break . It would cost a range from $4,166 to $770. For those cost you would get round trip airplane tickets, and stay at a hotel for seven nights. Then you would have to figure in the cost of food and fun. They say that students keep asking for cheaper packages, they say that students feel that they don't need to stay in a five, four star hotel. They also say that it is easier to find a cheaper package because currently jet fuel is cheaper. Mexico is depending on tourism to get them through the global economy crisis. With 30,000 people expected to visit this year and with Cancun being a host for many spring breakers I think that they will come out okay and can pay off some of the things that they have built to improve the atmosphere and the appearance of the beach and resort.
