It’s going to be a great weekend with the 4th of July on Friday and the Sonoran Resorts Las Vegas Casino Night on Saturday the 5th—so much so that you may want to consider bringing those family members you’ve been wanting to introduce to Rocky Point for awhile!

In last month’s Part III of our ongoing series about the impact the home port will have on Puerto Peñasco, we discussed how we can benefit from the extensive knowledge base developed by the cruise industry covering every aspect of what pleased their passengers the most during their time on as well as off the ship while they cruised, during port calls and especially before and after the cruise.
As a bottom line we need go no further than the simple philosophy of the cruise lines that has created the most satisfied clientele among all segments of the tourism industry: A spoiled passenger is a satisfied passenger, which makes for a repeat passenger. Each month we’ll extrapolate from this simple philosophy what the cruise lines do to make absolutely certain that their passengers are spoiled and how a destination like Puerto Peñasco can take advantage of this proven method of building repeat business…

Dr. Jesús González-Gaytán came to Puerto Peñasco about seven years ago on a mission—to build a full service medical center that could handle the emerging medical tourism market in this booming resort destination. The spiraling momentum of investments and building in this heretofore undiscovered paradise seemed unstoppable. It may have survived any kind of economic down turn except for one that involved a bubble that burst world-wide , which is exactly what happened.

This year, the Duckies will be racing on Sunday June the 8th, purposely timed for the same weekend of Roger Clyne’s Circus Mexicus Concert so more folks can have a chance to purchase Duckies for the race. Remember that 100% of all the funds collected for Rubber Ducky entries will go toward this year’s goals, which are divided between: 1.) To provide emergency back-up funds for transportation to out of town doctor’s appointments for people in need, and 2.) To provide travel expenses for the kids who qualify for the Paralympics this year.

Eighteen months ago when Kathleen Duncan from Arizona’s iconic Duncan Family Farms decided she wanted to start giving back to this community that had showered so much pleasure upon her and the Duncan family over the last 25 years, she admittedly did not know where she could help, just that she wanted to help where her contributions could do the most good, and where they were most needed.
