MEXICO CITY, Jan 28, 2003 (Cronica/Corporate Mexico by Internet Securities, Inc. via COMTEX) -- Authorities in the eastern states of Quintana Roo and Yucatan are studying the possibility of applying an entry tax on cruise passengers in the Mexican Caribbean, reported Fernando Garcia of the Quintana Roo Caribbean Hotel Association.The proposal originated in a meeting carried out halfway through January in Cozumel, although the matter has been debated in both Costa Rica and Puerto Rico."We need a legal instrument that balances the tax conditions of the hotel and cruise sectors, as part of the public coastal policy in the whole Caribbean region," said Garcia.More than 1,000 cruise ships arrive in the Mexican Caribbean each year, with Cozumel being the main destination, with some 500 ships docking annually.
