Straight from the “WTF” files
NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico (Reuters) – A Mexican city at the
heart of a raging drug war is trying to woo back jittery Texan
day trippers by offering free bus tours with an armed police
escort.
‘The aim is to shake off the bad image that we have and
give a boost to the craft markets and restaurants in the
center, where business is almost nil,’ Nuevo Laredo’s tourism
director Ramon Garza told Reuters on Wednesday.
