Price of tourist card to double...
It was announced this morning that Presedente Fox,during his visit to Baja California will call for a 100% rise in the fee charged for an FMT (tourist
card) staring today...This means the cost will be around $44.00 USD per person for the 180 day card...The prices are to be raised because less
tourists are visiting Mexico,but the government wants the same number of dollars entering Mexico...Although some tourists( Canadians) will decide not
to pay this extra amount the citizens of Mulege and La Paz are thrilled to get their beaches back this coming winter...April,First.2005

Brilliant move, Fox!
They had too many visitors to Yosemite so a few years back they raised the fee from $5 to $20.
And, visitors to the park dropped a bunch!
(but we Yosemite fans feel like you folks down south, the fewer the better)
Betcha the plan backfires on him...
Baja Arriba!!

I see the Mexican economic model is still alive and well. Five years from now, one tourist card will be issued. Price: $150,000,000.
Happy April fools day y'all.

Boy, hit the wrong button, and blank reply
Isn't raising the fees what they have done on the toll roads on the mainland because not enough people use them?
Now they are almost totally empty! Great to drive if you are in a hurry and have a fat bank account.
