I’ve noticed lately the tourists that make their way to central Mexico (Guanajuato) tend to be either the loosey-goosey backpackers or the tourist elite who tend to have a lot of experience in coming to strange and new places.
The backpackers (and there’s nothing wrong with loosey-goosey, I would like to add) seem to be a highly adaptable group that can, more or less, stay almost anywhere, under most conditions, and more easily go with the flow, no matter what the flow throws their way.
The tourist elite group has the money to stay in places that cater to every wish. This group can shell out the bucks to stay at places that cater to every whim and make the accommodations feel safe and secure. Because of this group’s vast experience at traveling, these people are not rattled much when they encounter new and strange things within a culture.
What has become apparent to me is there is a missing class of tourists. It is the middle-class income group of Americans and Canadians who, although they’ve heard of central Mexico, have never visited. They might want to check central Mexico out as a cheaper alternative to the classic resort areas...
