Do you think that the development of resort towns like cancun has benefited or hurt mexico? provide examples to support your answer.

Many of the resort areas and towns in Mexico have in short term ways assisted in boosting the local economy with American influence of money, but unfortunately has been an overall failure in the long run. With much of the violence and drugs that has been spurred on from the gang wars which have continued for year against the local gangs and the police, many of these resort towns have allowed the gangs to have central locations for larger bounties to where they know there is a much easier place to get greater goods from the tourists, such as watches, electronics, and so on. According to an article in "The Guardian" although 8% of Mexico's GDP is accounted for tourism, much of these resort towns have become hot beds for things such as theft, robbery, and drug smuggling, which has been aimed at tourists, and goes back to the previous statement of being that many of these gangs now have a more centrally located area to obtain goods from various tourists.
