Tijuana to vendors: Dress up or leave

The new dress code initially took effect June 25 in a popular pedestrian mall in time for the busy Fourth of July weekend - although most vendors ignored it and wore jeans and sweat-jackets.

But it will gradually be extended to other streets, including Avenida Revolucion - the bustling main tourist drag where one vendor donned a giant sombrero with the words "Mr. Viagra" written on it. He beckoned tourists to be photographed for $5 in a donkey cart.

This will do nothing but boost the sales to tourist. I am surprised the vendors are not seeing the benefit in dressing up in traditional Mexican garb. People come to Mexico to see the culture and to live the culture for a while. Selling the merchandise and dressing in traditional garb will help create that feel for tourists and thus open their pocket books further. In the end, the vendors will see the benefits when their profits go up. But it will most be seen on the economy next year when the entire summer with vendors using the new laws will reap the rewards all summer long.
