Porter Professor Niels Ketelhöhn Mulegué Loreto Comondú Los Cabos municipality La Paz San Jose del Cabo Cabo Corridor Cabo San Lucas Daniel Acevedo (Mexico) Dionisio Garza Sada (Mexico) José Luis Romo (Mexico) Bernardo Vogel (Mexico) Boston, Massachusetts May 2nd, 2008 Profile of Mexico Mexico covers an area of 1,964,382 square kilometers (758,452 square miles). With a population of 105 million, Mexico is the 11th most populous country and the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world. The nation’s capital, Mexico City, is the second largest city in the world. Mexico is composed by 31 states congregated in a federal representative democratic republic. The constitution establishes three levels of government: federal, state, and municipal. The federal government is constituted by the Legislative branch, composed by the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, the Executive branch, headed by the President who is elected for a single term every six years by a direct national election and is also commander in chief of the military forces, and the Judicial branch, comprised by the Supreme Court.1 Recent Political and Economic Situation The economic policy from 1920 until the end of the 1980’s was based on a centralized economy driven by strong government intervention. During the 1950´s postwar years, Mexico pursued an economic development strategy of “stabilizing development” that relied on heavy public-sector investment to modernize the national economy. Concurrently, Mexican governments followed conservative policies on controlled interest and exchange rates that helped maintain low rates of inflation and attracted external capital to support industrialization.

  • Groundwater Flow Model and Statistical Comparisons Used in Sustainability of Aquifers in Arid Regions
    resources Article Groundwater Flow Model and Statistical Comparisons Used in Sustainability of Aquifers in Arid Regions Javier Alexis Trasviña-Carrillo 1,* , Jobst Wurl 2 and Miguel Angel Imaz-Lamadrid 2 1 Faculty of Engineering, Autonomous University of Querétaro, Santiago de Querétaro, Querétaro 76010, Mexico 2 Department of Marine and Earth Science, Autonomous University of Baja California Sur, La Paz 23085, Mexico * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +52-612-15-62844 Received: 30 June 2019; Accepted: 23 July 2019; Published: 27 July 2019 Abstract: Groundwater provides the most important of the water resources used in the maintenance of communities in arid and semi-arid regions. In these areas, the usage of deep wells with motorized pumps in combination with the lack of effective regulatory policies and high human population growth (increase the water demand) impact the quality of the groundwater. This is especially the case for the San José del Cabo aquifer, in Baja California Sur. In the present study the groundwater flow system is analyzed in order to recognize the impact from variations in groundwater extraction and recharge on the phreatic levels and discharge values. In order to achieve this goal, a groundwater model was generated using the MODFLOW program. Different scenarios of extraction and recharge were calculated, based on different estimations of population growth. All the scenarios result in decreasing groundwater levels. As an important result, a relationship between the phreatic level and the extraction volume was found for the middle zone of the aquifer, where an average annual decrease of 0.5 m was observed from every 5 106 m3 additional extraction volume.

Highly developed cultures, including the Olmec, Maya, Toltec, and Aztec, existed long before Spain conquered Mexico in 1521. Mexico was a Spanish colony for 300 years until 1821 when it formally achieved independence. For 70 years, Mexico’s national government was dominated by the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which won every presidential race until the July 2000 presidential election when Vicente Fox became the first president to come from the opposition. President Fox completed his term on Dec. 1, 2006, and he was succeeded by Felipe Calderon. Mexico is endowed with substantial natural resources, and is a major oil producer and exporter. The Mexican economy is highly dependent on exports to the United States, which account for about 90 percent of its total exports. Mexico has undergone a profound economic transformation since the mid-1990s as a result of economic liberalization and its joining the North American Free Trade Agreement (a free trade bloc with the U.S.

  • Chapter 6. Traditional and Alternative Tourism in Loreto
    Ganster, Arizpe, and Sasidharan Chapter 6. Traditional and Alternative Tourism in Loreto, BCS Judith Juárez Mancilla, Plácido Roberto Cruz Chávez, Alberto Francisco Torres García, and Adilene Sarahí Espinoza Castillo Introduction This chapter provides an overview of conventional tourism and alter- native tourism in Loreto and their economic and environmental impacts. First, the conceptualization of tourism, the classifications, and the characteristics of alternative and conventional tourism are provided. Second, the theories that support economic activity of tourism as a driv- ing force of regional development are discussed. Third, tourism is described in Mexico and Baja California Sur, and general data and sta- tistical information are provided. Finally, conclusions are presented. Tourism For the purpose of this work, the definition of tourism used is that pro- posed by the United Nations’ World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). It defines tourism as “a social, cultural, and economic phenomenon re- lated to the movement of people to places that are outside of their usual place of residence for personal or business/professional rea- sons”(OMT, n.d). Ibáñez and Rodríguez Villalobos (2012) classify tourism into two categories: traditional and alternative that, in turn, en- compass a broad group of activities. The first category has activities related to sun and beach, cultural activities in large cities, and other recreational activities in places with luxurious infrastructure. The sec- ond category includes ecotourism, adventure tourism, and rural tourism. However, there are other ways to classify this activity depend- ing on: 1) Activities carried out, 2) Reason for travel, 3) Geographical scope, 4) Duration, 5) Age, 6) Conveyance, 7) Travel scales, 8) Form of travel (group, individual, family), 9) Type of operation, inbound or outbound (Universidad Interamericana para el Desarrollo, n.d.).

    Escape pressures of everyday life and find a renewed sense of peace and tranquility in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez BY BING O’MEARA View from the top of Isla Coyote (Isla Pardito). 38 PHOTO BY BING O’MEARA 39 LAKELANDBOATING.COM LAKELANDBOATING.COM JANUARY 2012 JANUARY 2012 f there was ever a time to get away for a spell, this is it. At home in the U.S., we’re dealing with a recession i that won’t go away. We are in political turmoil, split down the middle; one half diametrically opposed to the other. Watch the news on television, and what you get is an opinion, usually the flip side of the one you hold. We’ve shipped our jobs overseas and have an unemployment rate above nine percent, even as high as 17 percent in some regions of the country. As a result, our nation of consumers are no longer consuming, and our middle class is hanging on by a thread. People are afraid and uptight, with very little light at the end of the tunnel. So how do you cope? Get out of town! Go somewhere people are not obsessing over things they cannot control. Where do you go for some relief? Mexico. Specifically, the islands of the Sea of Cortez. That’s what we did, and what I would recommend for you if you’re feeling bottled up, unable to sleep, drinking Maalox by the quart, and making yourself sick every time you glance at the Dow Jones on your iPhone. So, how do you get started on your adventure? First of all, dump technology.

  • The US Citizens Retirement Migration to Los Cabos, Mexico. Profile and Social Effects
    The US citizens Retirement Migration to Los Cabos, Mexico. Profile and Social Effects Omar Lizárraga Morales Department of Social Sciences Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa (University of Sinaloa) Culiacán, México Abstract Today, in several Latin American countries, such as Colombia, Costa Rica, Brazil, and principally Mexico, we are witnessing a migratory movement from Canada and the United States. These migrants have the common characteristics of time and economic resources, since most of them are retired. This international immigration has had serious effects on the host communities in several areas: a) Economic: because their purchasing power is higher than that of the local population. Real estate prices have increased as well the cost of the services, principally in some urban areas, provoking a reclassification of the urban space; b) Socio-demographic: Within the migration process in some cases of the local women or men through marriage; c) Cultural: In many of the cases, the American immigrants keep their culture and lifestyle at the retirement destinations; as a result they create cultural isolation from the local people. d) Environmental: because they demand spaces near to the coast and places where the biodiversity is endangered. In this article we analyze the migratory process of the American citizens to a popular tourist destination located in the northwest of Mexico: Los Cabos, Baja California Sur. The social and environmental impacts in this region are examined. Key words: Retirement, Migration, Los Cabos, Baby Boom, Social Effects. Introduction International Retirement Migration (IRM) has become one of the most important features of social and demographic change in developed countries.

Make sure you have a Mexican auto insurance policy; passports for all family members; spare gas can – empty ; extra cash hidden in a secret location (so never stranded without); and an Emergency Evacuation policy, especially if going on an extended trip. Listings of Emergency Evacuation Insurance providers are included in Viva La Baja! Relocation & Real Estate Guide to the Baja California Peninsula available for purchase at: http://www.vivalabaja.com/buynow.html . Don’t forget your sunglasses! It may be smart to have a full gas can onboard (fill up the gas can after you cross the border). Not just in case you happen to run out, but in the event you are unable to purchase gas at a gas station. When electricity goes out, as it does on occasion in the summertime in Baja California Sur (due to high-levels of humidity causing disruptions with cable lines) the service stations will be unable to pump gas. Another situation that can occur, especially during high-tourist travel times during winter, is for stations to run out of petrol. Million-dollar RVs, traveling in packs, descend upon a local station and empty out the tanks.
