Acapulco was once considered the world's top resort...frequented by Hollywood's elite...and wannabe stars.
That was then...the 50's.
Today...the famous port that once hosted 20 cruise ships per month...now is lucky to see just 2.
Why?
An invasion by narcos...and with them...growing numbers of random, brutal crimes.
Despite a recent infusion by the military...foreign tourists continue to avoid Acapulco.
