ISLA MUJERES, 4 de marzo.-
For the second consecutive year, the Association of Small Hotels Fascinantes of Isla
Mujeres presented "Friendship Awards" for
tourists who visit Isla Mujeres repeatedly, especially those with more than five consecutive visits. The president of the association, Leonel Povedano Castillo said this event is an opportunity to recognize and show gratitude to these visitors who come year after year, making the island their second home during the winter season.
He said the Association is continuing their program in 2016 to improve infrastructure and internet connections during the months of February and March by following up with the company Telefonos de Mexico.
Another important project of the group is to launch a website which can become an important location for future visitors who are seeking information on the internet. This website should help the smaller hotels of this group to cope with increasing competition. They also seek to bring together a group of young local enthusiasts to help the small hotel owners to have better marketing by taking advantage of social networking and technological tools like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TripAdvisor, YouTube, Pariscope, and others.
They are also planning several free workshops about to assist them in evaluating and improving their online presence, and to find opportunities to promote the small hotels better.
The group also wants to help and acknowledge various nonprofit groups and associations, such as the "Seniors & Friends of Isla" group, which is composed of foreigners who want to help local people and improve the quality of life of islanders with donations to the Senior Citizen's Club.
The Asociación de Pequeños Hoteles Fascinantes de Isla Mujeres has recruited 12 hotel owners to their group, which continues to grow, and they invite hoteliers who are interested in these efforts to join them.
Today (yesterday) we celebrated the 499th Anniversary of the discovery of Isla Mujeres. We are a community who are proud of their past, committed to the present, and optimistic about our future.
El día de hoy celebramos el 499 Aniversario del Descubrimiento de Isla Mujeres.
Somos un pueblo orgulloso de su pasado, comprometido con el presente y optimista con su futuro.

Saying no to violence in Isla Mujeres
At an event organized by the Municipal Institute for Women, (IMM) hundreds of islanders joined the "Billion Rising" campaign to say: " No More Violence Against Women & Girls". The event was held at the Benito Juarez Middle School, with students, teachers, city employees, and the general public participating.
There was a group dance (multitudinario baile) under the dome, led by instructor Lorena Andrade. The head of the IMM explained that On Billion Rising is celebrated worldwide and includes a choreographed dance. She said, "It a peaceful and joyful revolution to make ourselves visible and to say 'No More Violence'."
The City Councilwoman who is head of the Gender Equality Department, Mirian Trejo Leon, thanked the participants and said this is a great opportunity to fight together against violence within our society in all its manifestations. After the dance, there was a performance by islander rapper Saulo Gonzalez who used his talent to make the audience think about the issues relating to violence against women.
Also present at the event were: José Castillo Magaña, municipal General Secretary; Jaber Borge, representing the DIF President, Marthy Vargas León de Magaña; and Suemí Gonzáles, Director of Economic Development, and other special guests.
IN UNITY for the good of Quintana Roo and for the good of Isla Mujeres.
UNIDAD por el bien de Quintana Roo, por el bien de Isla Mujeres.
