| More
than 300 Rosarito residents volunteer for
new tourist-assistance citizens’ watch
program |
|
Members of the newly formed Citizen Council
for Assistance to Tourists were sworn in at
a March 4 ceremony at the Rosarito Beach
Hotel. They included both Mexican-born and
expatriate residents of the city, tourism
officials and business people. |
The
group was formed by the new city
administration of Mayor Hugo Torres. Members
will watch for and report any problems that
might affect visitors in Rosarito’s
tourist areas. The new mayor has made
security for both residents and visitors the
top priority of his administration.

| About
360 people have joined the group so far.
Torres said at the ceremony that the huge
response is indicative of the how highly
people in the city value visitors. “This
shows how much people care,” Torres said. |
