Clearly, we live for tourism. It is also clear that our main attraction, after the manner of being of the inhabitants, is the landscape.

There are hundreds and thousands of beaches and mountains, but here is something to see what nature has given us. Those who visit us come and pay to see the natural beauty and added successful that we have put humans into the landscape, when we are right.

Tourists usually come from an environment of agglomeration, visual pollution, noise pollution and other pollution, to enjoy beauty and clean environment "for thelook." That is the common heritage that sustains us and allows us Vallartenses build a better life for our families.

Of course the scenery is heritage to be protected from predators. Global institutions and care to give recognition characteristic landscapes, where people care.

In Jalisco the agave landscape have in the region of Tequila, proclaimed heritage not only of the people, but of all mankind. Cultural heritage.

Hence not understand visually pollute the savagery of a beautiful landscape, like ours makes the set appealing, to pay to see him, to pay to come.

Absurd there who are pocketing money polluting our beautiful landscapes. Absurd that entrepreneurs have so careless as to pay for their products or services appear assaulting, polluting, showing depreciated to the highest values ​​of a population.

Absurd laws are so backward, so that you can visually pollute "within the law", affecting the entire population "by court order".

We know that in the cities of our country, municipalities or delegations, have an obligation to protect the urban landscape, Norman rigorously placement, sizes, distances, luminosities and others of outdoor advertising, not to mention the spectacular they are ultimate in vulgarity and visual pollution. The cities are not going to kill the appeal of its colonial architecture, allowing the voracious post signs on the roofs of houses or palaces. And when a city seeks to recover degraded areas, the first thing they do is clean the place of outdoor advertising. Deform, degrade, contraminan are advanced deterioration and poverty.

To Las Vegas no people travel to enjoy the desert landscape. From the beginning, people go to the casinos and amusement internal showrooms within hotels. So do not hurt  Las Vegas, the explosion of outdoor ads, loaded with lights and stacking. The attraction of the city is not in the countryside, in nature. Its appeal lies in the interior, in the game and in the shows.

There is no problem to go and get their huge signs ... if you let them.

But here we live the landscape around our sites and our friendly service quality. Here, the landscape is threatening harm to all.

So we must defend the irrational nature of such large attacks, issued by the insatiable greed of money at all costs, whatever and friéguese perjudíquense all.

We can not allow re-entry degrade our city with this absurd pollution that our visitors feel, cheated, cheated, cheated: we promise the wonders of nature and receive them with vulgarity and degradation of ads that block the view landscape.

In legal must exhaust all instances, including the constitutional controversy. In the civic society must be mobilized to contain the attack to the common heritage. If the merchants of visual pollution can not disregard the thirty pieces why people betray, advertisers should know that they are promoting the rejection of their products or services because they are not socially responsible to finance pollution of our landscape.

We must fight for what nature gave us.

We must fight for what makes us attractive

We must fight for the common heritage or we will sink into widespread poverty, hopeless.

The tourist business on the Internet is one of the fastest growing segments registered in the past two years. Booking.com Only the Dutch company, which is the company that moves tourists annually worldwide, has achieved a growth of 400 percent. This was emphasized by Edmundo Ramirez, director of Accounts for Hotels, based in Mexico City for the whole region of the continent, who noted that the trend for this year is to grow to 180 or 210 percent and obviously little to consolidate some Internet companies such as tourism leaders worldwide.

It's the new trend, says the director of accounts for hotels

Riviera Nayarit

He noted that in Mexico the business over the Internet has grown and said that in the case of Booking.com, which began in May 2011, has had "brutal growth of 400 percent," in just a year and a half.

Booking.com previously said that 700 properties managed offices in Mexico City. "Now there are about 5000, then, there is a growing acceptance and Mexican users."

Clarified that, however, is not new because history began in 1996. Penetration is in Mexican society, obviously influences the purchase of electronic commerce and a large portion is made ​​through Booking.com.

He said that in fact it is the only item that really is growing at two or three digits, because little by little "we are giving the client the opportunity to pay less and the hotelier to earn more, because brokers tend to disappear."

What makes Booking.com is attached to a hotel with vacationers and "what we do is charge a fee for that, but give the best rate for the customer and the best profit for the hotel. So, is the best of both worlds and that's just what the Internet provides. "

Besides, through Internet hotel Guayabitos, Bucerias, Nuevo Vallarta and Punta de Mita or can be promoted in Japan, in Japanese, in China, in Chinese, in Italy, in Italian, Brazilian Portuguese South America, or Spain with Spanish idioms, in Mexico, in their language. "That makes us enrich ourselves and the trend is good for the hotel."

Mexico’s meetings and conventions industry is not just about the unique experience it brings to attendees. Among the key factors that Mexico seeks in promoting the industry is to look for local economic development for each market destination. In Queretaro, for example, a new convention center was recently opened in response to the increasing demand of aerospace organizations looking for convenient venues to host their events.

Mexico City, Mexico (CNN) -- At the lavish opening of Volkswagen's latest plant in Mexico, the company's boss and Mexico's new president join hands to push a button. A vast sheet drops to reveal a gleaming assembly line for engines -- surrounded by newly hired VW employees waving Mexican flags.

It's an obviously symbolic moment: Mexico relies heavily on multinational car firms to power an important sector of its economy. The country is currently the fourth largest auto exporter in the world.

"Mexico is our main product delivery hub for the USA," VW CEO Martin Winterkorn tells CNN. "In this regard Mexico plays a very important role -- specifically for the US market for which we want to produce and sell one million vehicles by 2018."

The United States has become a vital market for VW: Sales jumped 26% in 2012 and they expect further growth this year, which helps to offset a decline in Europe. This week, Germany -- the economic engine on which the Eurozone has come to depend -- reported its economy shrank in the last quarter.

"We do not expect Germany to sustain a heavy drop in GDP. We expect slight growth and stabilization in the automobile market," says Winterkorn. "What concerns us is Southern Europe. We don't see any growth there, but we are hopeful that there will be light at the end of the tunnel perhaps in 2014/15."

The former physicist has a reputation for meticulous attention to detail and is focusing on making VW the biggest carmaker in the world by 2018. The company just announced record global sales. Whether his greatest ambition can be achieved may partly depend on the biggest prize of all: China

"We expect an overall market growth of 8% in China," he says "We have invested and will bring new plants online in China. We think that we'll grow."
