i wish i knew. unfortunately it's stories like these that make people think all gringos are rich and so they decide to charge a much higher price.

I agree with your comment doa2112. What the article does not say is the percentage of luxury tourist as a whole, is it 5% or 10% or maybe only 2%. It only states a 4o% increase of the luxury group... but of what, 2%? A 40% increase of almost nothing is almost nothing. And if the tourism sector increases prices to far based on luxury tourists they risk alienating the masses of people who spend 50 to 150 dollars per month and stay 3 weeks to 2 months.
