Not surprising. The amount dudes in Zona especially weekends has doubled from 7 years ago. The pay went up 30% for them. And Tijuana went from a outpost dump of a city, like Buffalo NY, to becoming 2nd largest city in Mexico. In just few years.

'Sex servers' registered to work in Tijuana doubled in the past 4 years by: Salvador Rivera.

City reports recent spike in sexually transmitted diseases.

Tijuana (Border Report) — The number of so-called "sex servers" in Tijuana has nearly doubled in the last four years according to the city's medical services office.

Back in 2018, according to the agency's numbers, it had issued almost 5,500 permits to women who wanted to work as prostitutes in Tijuana, the number is now at 10,774 active permits.

But Gerardo López Montes, head of Tijuana's Public Health office, indicated many women are failing to register and document their intent to work in the sex industry.

He believes there could be as many as 30,000 women currently working in Tijuana as prostitutes.

Notorious for prostitution, former tourism official urges Tijuana to promote it.

"We are trying to verify permits every day, we're inspecting places where sex servers work to make sure they are registered and following protocols," said López Montes. "We're trying to get them to comply, this is to the benefit of all who work in this industry. ".

He said registration by prostitutes is a requirement and those without this permit can't work.

Last weekend, a sting operation netted 27 women who were working without a permit.

Feds see rising tide of sexual exploitation as potential victims spend more time online.

Tijuana City Manager Jorge Salazar Miramontes said the sex industry in Tijuana used to be centered in one neighborhood near the border. Nowadays, sex workers can now be found throughout the city.

"We're seeing them on the east side and other areas," he said.

When asked about human trafficking being the primary reason for the increased number of sex servers in her city, Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero said migration was the real factor.

"Nowadays, it's not just women from Mexico, they're foreigners from places like Venezuela and Colombia who come here to work. Some leave but others take their place and that's why the number has doubled," Caballero said.

The mayor announced more patrols and inspections of bars are planned to make sure the women have their permits and are being tested regularly for sexually transmitted diseases.

Caballero said they are being more vigilant following an increase in reported cases of gonorrhea and other STDs.

She did not specify how many cases have been confirmed but said they were traced to one club.

"We had an outbreak in one bar, two girls tested positive," said Caballero. "We are going to protect our citizens. The sex servers are also citizens so we will protect them as well, they are the ones at greater risk. ".

Aside from gonorrhea, cases of hepatitis and Rickettsia have also been reported.

Rickettsia causes Rocky Mountain spotted fever and can cause serious damage to internal organs such as kidneys and the heart.

Trabajando por un mejor Tijuana, Roughly translated "Working to make a Better Tijuana".

So eastside Constitution Avenue is currently being improved by new sidewalk and drainage laterals. I wish they would replace those tripping and falling hazard aka water meter boxes.

They have installed banners with the re-imagined vision of Tijuanas Avenida constitution with the above message.

The image appears to be a 3-story hotel and at the rear is an existing multi level parking (Libra parking) that will accommodate this new hotel. (Currently closed Hotel Irma).

Just adjacent to this future hotel are Future renditions of The Subway sandwich shop (doubt it).

Adjacent to this Is KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) which I suspect will be the existing KFB-Kentucky Fried Buches. Which serves fried chicken necks served with tortillas.

AFAIK, KFB was showcased in either Anthony Bourdain food travels in Mexico or another travel food show.

And yes, streetgirls count is about a dozen on Constitution Avenue afternoon / evenings.

Police vehicles and military vehicles are cruising by about 3 x normal.

As someone who has stayed in motels in Tijuana for 4 trips now, I will share my experiences and hope to hear some real ratings for places to stay in Tijuana.

- Cascadas. We all know this one, so no reason to write a big review. It's essentially double the price of comparable places in ZN. Clean and professional, as you would expect. I would recommend staying here if 1) You don't care about price, 2) You really enjoy the HK experience, or 3) If it is your first time outside of your home country and you are not comfortable with safety / navigating a language barrier.

- Hotel Leyva. Avoid. Tons of cockroaches, baby and large. Wifi unusable. Rude front desk manager. I woke up with multiple roaches in my shoes.

- Motel Diaz. Highly recommended! You would never guess it from Google maps, but I took a chance on this place and have stayed here my last 3 trips. Prices are very reasonable, with options for double bed / air conditioning. Clean; never seen any bugs. No one comes in your room if you don't ask for cleaning, but cleaning ladies are happy to provide what you need. Breakfast is included, cooked and delivered from a nearby cafe with a few options. I go for eggs, chorizo, tortillas, rice, and beans; filling! There is a door guard, and for two stays I have made friends with them. Girls can be brought back if they show their identification. The reason I would like to try a different place is because of the location; it's a block from the ZN core. Whether because of the gay nightclub across the street, the drug dealers hanging around the Arch, or because I am a young foreigner, but if a police car drives down this area of Revolucion and sees me, there is a 100% chance that they will probe you for drugs and kindly remove some pesos from your wallet. Since other mongers have been incredulous when I tell them this, I should clarify that I am not exaggerating. On every trip I have been shouted at and probed around the Arch at least twice. This doesn't happen very often in the core ZN.

So, I am curious about Hotel Ibiza. Has anyone stayed here recently? WIFI useable? I imagine that it is a loud but convenient experience where you can bring the Ibiza girls to your room without having to pay.

Ibiza was my go to place pre covid. During the week rates were reasonable. Stay on the third floor due to the music from La Malquerida. Rizo de oro above bar tropical was always decent too. Have heard people rave about Velario on Calle primera but I've never stayed there. Plus always thought too dark and isolated to walk late at night. Moe.

Anyone been to El Mitote (Blvd. Gustavo Diaz Ordaz 16, Paseo LOS Reyes, 22125 Tijuana, be. See. , Mexico)? I drove by and looked kind of dead from outside during the day, but near where the swap meets are located. The logo shows a woman on a pole. I might have to check it out one day. Tijuana is still packed as ever and wish they had better infrastructure as far as more roads.

An escort messaged me that restaurants, stores and other businesses have pretty much reopened.

I was yesterday (Tuesday evening) at Zona Norte. It looks like everything is back to normal in Tijuana. At 9 PM Hong Kong was full, Adelita: there weren't a lot of guys inside (2-3 chicas per customer.) There are some chicas from Colombia in Adelita. If you like chicas more rounded then Adelita is the place.

PM me if you need a ride my friend in Tijuana is a Uber driver. He was a masero in HK before so I have known him for years. He speaks english and won't rip you off.

I will, when I get closer to going which will be after my fight in Atlantic City in late October. Thank You.

Now, late Sunday in the evening I got a message from chica who works in HK that everything is normal in HK. I don't know other clubs.

An escort messaged me that restaurants, stores and other businesses have pretty much reopened.

I agree. There's been past stories of strip clubs attacked in Mexico and deaths. In other parts Mexico few years ago now. In this situation, cartel is literally telling people, they don't want to hurt anyone, but they are closing the city down to some degree. Better to to respect that, let them feel like they are closing the city down, placate them, and wait to see if Mexico releases their amigos in prison to make things go back to the normal safe Tijuana we all know.

I completely disagree. You need strong leadership and not cowards that will be controlled by organized crime.

[Dogers69]

I am not going to Tijuana any time soon. If the Cartel are pulling cars over at gun point and burning cars I take that a good reason to stay de fuck away. The Cartel never play games and do not tolerate any disrespect.

Any one throw caution to the wind and know first hand if any of the big 3 clubs (HK, AB, CC) are operating today? HK is posting on their social media accounts that they're open and operating, but they were doing that since yesterday. I've heard from others that Zona Norte was effectively shutdown cause of the ongoing concerns of violence.
