Increasing mobile vendorsVendedores
Aumentan ambulantes en las playas
0 13 de diciembre de 2013 This is another representation of the opinion of the business owners disliking competition from the mobile vendors, who pay a monthly fee of 500 pesos. It is noted that the number of mobile venders increases during high season and this has begun. It is noted that their overhead is lower than that of the stationary businesses. And that is Angela, who has been selling on the beach for over a decade., in low season and high. She is very polite and unintrusive when she tries to sell her jewelry.

Keeping their promises to Guadalupe
The 482nd anniversary of the appearance of the Virgen Morena del Tepeyac was celebrateed in Isla Mujeres, beginning on December 11th with a foot race to the Guadalupe Chapel, and the singing of the mananitas that followed, and the celebrations continued as many islanders came to the church to bow before her feet and give thanks for favors received. At noon on the 12th, the taxi union members arrived with banners and prayers. There was a procession to a party in La Gloria with food, smiles, and presents. Children were dressed as Juan Diego and as Maria, who were brought to the Chapel by their parents to participate in these traditions and celebrations honoring the Virgin of Guadalupe.

It is noted that in the past nine years the number of placas/permits has grown from just over 200 to now there are nearly 800 placas/permits. There are plans for the Isla Mujeres taxi union to have a significant impact upon the continental zone.
The three opponents have agreed to abide by the status quo and respect the wishes of the group if one of them wins the election. There is an intention that the election on Saturday could be annulled and another specific assembly for an election in which they can participate without "Wato".

Island hoteliers in financial crisis
Hoteleros isleños en crisis financiera[+] Ver mas
Not all the small hotels are reporting good reservations for Christmas and New Years, but they are hoping to sell their remaining rooms in the upcoming days. On Friday, Por Esto reported there are nearly 20 small hotels that are interested in forming an association to work together to seek alternatives to reverse the lower occupancy rates of the recent years. There was a first meeting on this topic on November 30 at the Bahia Chacchi, which was attended by 17 representatives of the small hotels. They listened attentively to a Tourism representative from the United Nations Organization, Dr Armando de Lucas Hurtado who spoke about helping small businesses in the hotel industry amid this globalized economy.
Expectations are high for this proposal, so in the following meetings it is expected that the small business owners will make agreements and reverse the downward trend in occupancy
