One taxi driver told me that I have to pay 20,000 pesos instead of 8 because it was raining. We argued in the taxi but he had home-field advantage and I had already given him the 20,000 expecting my change. It's not the money. It was how he try to handle me.
I noticed their overall attitudes were far more deceptive from when I first came. It's like being back in a DR where you have to ask them how much before you conduct any business.

That is interesting take. Honestly, though, I had to pass on going to Cancun in the summer months because of the amount of rain. In the fall, there were hurricanes and tropical storms. I thought the Mexican Pacific was hurricane free, but then they had a small one while I was in Acapulco. I was told Cartagena is hurricane free.
The one place I saw that always had sun and good weather was Cabo San Lucas. Thing is that when you get into the depths of winter, it can get pretty cold there.

President Iváand Duque announced that foreigners involved in sexual crimes will be deported.
Those who are caught in Cartagena seeking sex tourism services will be declared "non gratas", said President Iváand Duque this Saturday, during the launch of an offensive against sexual exploitation in that city on the Colombian Caribbean coast.
"Tourist who in this country intends to fall into any of these practices, will not only be deported, but will be declared persona non grata, and of course, before the commission of any crime, the respective prosecution will proceed," said the President.
The so-called 'Christmas Security Plan' implies the arrival of 50 additional police officers and 10 of judicial investigation, who will be in charge of monitoring and prosecuting those involved in sexual crimes in Cartagena.

The control of piers, hotels, establishments, and especially in the Clock Tower, one of the best-known entrances to the walled city, where sexual tourism is reported from the early hours of the day, will also be strengthened.
Defense Minister Diego Molano said that three critical points were identified inside the walled city, where sex tourism has been identified and that they will be monitored by the authorities.
"This also implies a special effort with the Attorney General's Office and the Police, with the most wanted in this type of crime, in addition to a contribution from the Ministry of the Interior to strengthening the mobility of the Tourist Police in the city," he said.

Walled through the plaza tonight, Police are basically keeping all girls away from there, both outside and inside. All the girls are now inside the clubs or walking around outside the clubs.
Those who know how to use the apps or have a solid list of chicas in their contacts will not be affected.

Cancun generates $20 billion a year and oil generates $10 to $15 billion for Colombia. Does Cartagena have the infrastructure Cancun does? Nah. The beaches? Nah. The fun things to do like the Xcaret parks? Nah. Las Vegas style shows? Nah. Easy 2 or 3 hours flights from Mexico and the USA? Nah. A sane Covid policy for tourists like Mexico? Nah.
Mexico cracked down on prostitution. They did not want the image of being ho to the USA sex tourist and outside of Tijuana, a big city in and of itself, the Boystown areas in the border towns like Laredo, Reynosa, and Juarez became virtual hoing ghost towns. However if you traveled to Guadalajara, Mexico City, or Monterrey inside of Mexico, you could find Western style strip clubs, escorts, and sugar babies galore and for not very much. So if you were to follow the Mexico model, that is what you should do. Keep the hos but keep them away from the families and not so out in the open.
In the Cancun area, the escort agencies have been cracked down on. Still, there are high end strip clubs. For the Mexicans, there are casas where you can get your needs met. I have been there but I had my own map and rented a car and got serviced on the cheap with no problem. Another monger went by cab. The police stopped him and told him, "The casas are not meant for you. Stick to the tourist areas."
The easy part is saying you want to be the next Cancun. The hard part is getting there. Mexico's infrastructure is miles ahead of Colombia, and you have to treat the tourists well to some degree. This president locked up his own people for 7 months, is demonizing mongers, and is requiring vaccine cards to go out to eat.
I was in Cancun when there was a huge Indian wedding. You are talking about a 100 guests and probably 50 rooms rented out at the Marriott. These are the events the president is dying to have. Could you do this in Colombia right now? Given the restrictions, my answer is not just no but hell no. And even if you could, the flights from 48 of the 50 states would be a nightmare.
It will very interesting to see if Colombia can turn itself into a tourist destination. There are some great and interesting places to see. That said, I think this president is the last one who should be trying to do it. He needs some serious training in hospitality.
