I think what is happening is that Villalobos is just a figure head who is apparently pushing a project that the gov thinks will bring more money into Mexico via tourism. It makes sense on the level of tourism = money = better for Mexico. It makes less sense when you consider the loss of freedom for the people of Mexico (use of Federal Zone). It makes less sense when you consider the damage done by confiscating, by force, properties which were titled and held via fideicomiso. Bad for Mexico, really bad over all. I makes less sense when you consider that most of the existing projects of similar nature (i.e. golf course, fancy, geared toward the rich) are not doing so great occupancy wise. It reminds me of when my girlfriend and I went to the island of Crete. We saw mile after mile of places duplicating what worked next door i.e. catering to the Spring break / rich crowd. We were looking for a natural setting and had to drive hours to find it. I think Villalobos would have been smarter to use the existing, real Mexico setting that existed, built a luxury hotel on the open ocean side, and catered to persons who wanted a luxury vacation with real Mexico experience a short walk away. The people of Mexico have a lot to offer, They are rich in personality, warm, full of life...on and on. This is not something you can duplicate artificially, it is either happening or not. Why not cater to the new generation of vacationers who don't want to play golf, or hang around with just the same old rich crowd. People who are looking for a real experience...keyword real.
