City Inspectors Report Calm in Local Clubs

By: Patrick Ellis | Real Acapulco News - 29 December, 2010

(Acapulco, AN 29 December) Acapulco’s Director of Regulation and Events, Iván García Clemente, reported yesterday that so far no unfavorable incidents have been reported in any of Acapulco’s many nightspots. He explained that his department has 15 inspectors, who regularly check on the nightclubs and bars to ensure compliance with the city’s regulations. They make their rounds undercover, so as not to disturb the clientele. García Clemente added that the attendance at nightspots has been low for the beginning of the season, but it is gradually increasing, reaching its peak in the coming New Year’s weekend. The main areas of activity have been the Condesa area, as usual, as well as the upscale clubs on the Escénica and the Christmas Fair at the Convention Center, which has attracted thousands of revelers each night, and continuing into the wee small hours.

“The inspectors are constantly moving around from one place to another. Starting on Wednesday, the oversight will be increased, as more and more party-goers show up at the clubs,” he said. Areas of special attention are cases of discrimination, especially in the discos, unjustified charges, and underage drinking.
