Así como los servicios de calidad en municipio, destaca Agapito

Isla Mujeres is being promoted at the Tianguis Turistico 2014 from May 6-9, with over 8000 participants, from sixty countries and five continents, including 400 members of national and international media who are covering this event promoting tourism in Mexico. The opening event was attended by the President of Mexico, Enrique Pena Nieto; the Mayor of Isla Mujeres, Agapito Sanchez Magan;, and the Governor, Roberto Borge Angulo, who cut the ribbon to inaugurate the area for Quintana Roo, which includes a module promoting Isla Mujeres. 
     The mayor had meetings to promote the island, and brochures were delivered in Spanish and English promoting Isla Mujeres, that included cultural, historical, and touristic information. The brochures include photographs and a map, and include whale shark sighting, and locations such as Isla Contoy, El Meco ruins, and Boca Iglesias, as well as the Continental Zone.

In late April, the CFE (Federal Electricity Commission) began inviting customer to switch to using a smart card for billing of  this service. So far 208 customers have switched, and 3500 digital meters have been installed installed in Isla Mujeres. This service is entirely optional and can be obtained at the customer service window at the CFE office on the island, or through a group of workers with the group IUSA who have been hired for this purpose and are going house to house, offering to carry out the conversion of your contract to digital billing, with an electronic signature and an official photo ID, and the process is completely free.
  Currently it is only available for domestic rates, and does not include commercial customers. The users with smart cards can chose to schedule their payments monthly or bimonthly, and they can chose the effective day, which can be the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, or 25th of the month. The benefits  of monthly payments means the bill does not get so high. Also, there is no cost for reconnection in the case that service is suspended. Payments can be made at the electronic cashiers at the office.

Shells protected by ban period taken from vendors 
 
Workers with the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fish, Food, and Rural Development (SAGARPA) confiscated four shells from a vendor who has been selling these items for a long time, and the neighboring seller fared worse, since he had no permit, all his items were seized. There is no office for the agency on the island, but it is presumed these visits are for the confiscation of seafood that is under a ban (Conchs and Starfish).  These vendors were selling near the Turtle Sanctuary Tortugranja.
 
Increased efforts to control larvae

Workers with the municipal Vector's agency have been working since Tuesday at control of larve, beginning in the southern colonias of the island, and they will finish downtown. They are visiting homes and ensuring there are no open containers where water can gather and mosquito larvae can breed. The public's cooperation is critical to control of mosquitoes.

This article complains that the 2011 video being used to promote Isla Mujere at the Tianguis Tourism fair has not been updated, and that the three websites for tourists to obtain information about hotels and other services were cancelled in January, for lack of payment of their renewal. The municipal Director of Tourism said they are completely renewing the content for the sites, which should be ready in the spring.


Completion of cleaning of Salina Grande
Culmina la limpieza en la Salina Grande[+] Ver mas
Following a massive die off of fish, they have completed the cleaning of Salina Grande, where more than two tonnes of Tilapia fish were removed. The results of the laboratory tests are pending. The rain a few days ago appears to have eased the plight of the fish, who may have been dying from lack of oxygenation of the water. The government is in the process of establishing warnings and fines for those who litter around the lake, following the removal of more than two tonnes of garbage.
   Regarding the plan to clean the bottom of the lake, they are awaiting the results of the laboratory tests, and estimate that the work will take three weeks, and will begin this month. There are no dead fish at the site.

    Does the use of electronic signatures make things easier for you? How long ago have you started using it and for which reason?
