Mexican Tourism Slow to Rebound after Swine Flu Outbreak

Mexico's famous destinations like Cancun and Cozumel have seen few foreign tourists since the swine flu outbreak in April that killed 108 people...despite a $91 million dollar ad campaign.

Instead a new class of tourists has emerged...locals... that some brand as "cheapskates"...lured by the new steep discounts.
