Going in 3 days. Thought I'd researched throughly. Your sincere presentation & helpful insights are very much appreciated! I look forward to learning more through your videos.
Oaxaca is currently severely stressed by the influx of visitors. New York Times, travel magazine and social media overexposure have brought hundreds of thousands of visitors. Affordable housing for Oaxaqueños is a thing of the past (in part due to Airbnb) and there are severe water shortages. The government prioritizes hotels during the peak drought periods which has led to even hospitals sometimes not having water! It's very tough so if you can make alternative plans it would be a big relief for the residents of this enchanting place.
Thanks for making that point. I had never heard about water not getting to hospitals. That’s terrible. I hope the government can figure out policies that prioritize the needs of oaxaqueños first. I’m sure tourism also brings in revenue to the region but always need to look at addressing negative impacts and whether everyone is feeling the benefit of the pesos coming in.
