A brawl broke out a few meters from the statue of Don Juan Miguel Castro, among visitors of African-American origin who refused to pay masseuses in Progreso, Yucatan.
The situation caused inspectors and even a translator to arrive at the place, but the tourists had already left without paying for the massage.
A second occasion that warranted the presence of the staff of the Directorate of Tourism was when some workers from the banana rides told an Afro-American family that if they contracted the service they could stay in a palapa of their choice, which belonged to the group of work where they were.
The visitors occupied a table in another establishment, so when it was time to pay, they refused and caused a discussion between workers in the sand area, even requiring the intervention of the official Cristóbal Figueroa UC to solve both parties.
Another case occurred when another woman did not want to pay for the service that was given to her in one of the palapas. She argued that the charge was excessive for canned soft drinks.
These situations generated discontent among tourists and tourism service providers alike.
