Evento
Organizan festival del tiburón ballena
0 28 de mayo de 2014The municipal Department of Tourism, in coordination with the municipal Department of Culture, are organizing the Whale Shark Festival, which is expected to attract tourism. Gustavo Rodríguez Orozco, director of Tourism, said that this annual Festival celebrating the world's largest fish will begin on July 20th, but unlike previous years when it took place on a weekend, this year the event will last for a week.There will be cultural and artistic activities, as well as the coronation of a queen/ambassador. There will be contests, a parade with floats, lectures about whale sharks, and a group of foreigners are painting murals at several strategic points in Isla Mujeres. There will be sand sculpture competitions at the beach, and activities at the Town Square. It is possible that there may be a guest invited as the Celebrity Ambassador, but this is being analyzed.
Por Carlos Gasca > Quequi .- Se prevé que la celebración se realice a partir del 20 julio. -
Fiscalización
Fines by PROFECO total over 3 million pesos
Multas de Profeco podrían superar los 3 MDP
0 28 de mayo de 2014During three days of inspections by PROFECO, the Federal Consumer Protection agency, they reviewed 14 businesses, of which only one was found to be following all of the rules. The rest were given sanctions that can range between 640 pesos and 3 million pesos.There were 20 inspections intended, but the other six businesses were closed, and it is presumed that they were alerted by a rumor. Among those that did not pass inspection, there were signs posted advising of the different irregularities that were encountered, and in some cases there was merchandise that was impounded.Now there will be administrative procedures that could last between one and two weeks, with the possibilities of a second inspection later. It there is recidivism, the fine could increase and reach even more than three million pesos. Mitigating circumstances will be considered such as the willingness of the merchant to remedy the problem.
Por Carlos Gasca> Quequi .- Fueron 14 negocios inspeccionados y sólo uno logro salir libre de sanciones.
