Mineral mining (remember the gypsum mine on Isla Sn Marcos and the salt works in Guerrero Negro?) brings in almost half again as much money as
tourism, followed by ag, then closely by maquiladoras. Maquiladora profits like their product are mostly exported. Commercial fishing didn't even make
the cut nor did real estate. Fly-in tourism according to the same study brought in eleven times as much money in 2011 as overland tourism. Must be
those 300 dollar hotel rooms and eight dollar margaritas down in Cabo San Lucas. |
