Cruise Passengers Hit With New Mexico Tax

If you’re cruising to Mexico, get ready to pay up! Starting this week, cruise passengers will be charged a new tourist tax—$5 now, but it’ll jump to $21 in three years. The Mexican government says cruise lines haven’t been paying their fair share, while Royal Caribbean and others are not happy about it. Local businesses worry it’ll scare off tourists, especially with Royal Caribbean building a massive resort that could keep all the spending in-house.
