Huge 8,000-Person Nudist Festival Will Go Ahead Despite Covid Concerns

DOMINIC SMITHERS

Last updated 9:33, Friday 08 January 2021 GMT

A massive nudist festival is set to go ahead despite concerns surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.

Over the first weekend in February for the past five years, more than 4,000 nude revelers have been gathering at Zipolite (beach of the dead) on the southern coast of Mexico for the Festival Nudista Zipolite.

Organised by the Federación Nudista de México, the festival takes place on the country's first and only legal nude beach.

And despite the country having recorded more than 1.4 million cases of the deadly disease, with over 130,000 Covid-related deaths in the past year, the hotly-anticipate event is expected to go ahead as planned.

According to reports, officials in the town of Zipolite have agreed to hold the festival as long as the country's protocols are met.

Benjamín Martínez López, a representative of Bienes Comunales, has claimed that organisers and the Health Secretariat of San Pedro Pochutla have confirmed the event should be fine to go ahead.

He said it represents an opportunity for the town to recoup some of the money it has lost as a result of the pandemic.

Adverts for Festival Nudista Zipolite 2021 have urged visitors to take extra precautions if they are planning to attend.

One such message says: "If you have airline and hotel reservations, bring your masks and sanitising items with you or if you still don't have reservations, we invite you to stay home."

No Clothes, Only Masks! Zipolite Nudist Festival 2021 in Mexico to Go on as Planned Despite COVID-19 Fears

Visitors will have to wear a mask at all times, even if they are not wearing clothes. With the detection of new strain of coronavirus, several countries have imposed strict measures and lockdowns to avoid the fast-spreading variant. However, as much as 8,000 nudists could be still attending this annual festival towards the end of January.

A lot of events, tournaments and festival celebrations have been severely impacted  in the months of the coronavirus pandemic, but Mexico's annual nudist festival will be  an exception. Called the Festival Nudista Zipolite, this nudist gathering is said to go ahead as planned, despite fears of COVID-19 spread. Although, visitors will have to wear a mask at all times, even if they are not wearing clothes. With the detection of new strain of coronavirus, several countries have  imposed strict measures and lockdowns to avoid the fast-spreading variant. However, as much as 8,000 nudists could be still attending this annual festival towards the end of January.

Posters for Festival Nudista Zipolite are already being shared online. This time the festival will begin from January 29 and go on till February 1. It will be held on Zipolite on the southern coast of Mexico in the state of Oaxaca. The festival is organised since the year 2016 by Federación Nudista de México. As per a report, the town has agreed to carry on with the festival as long as the necessary health protocols are followed. Back in August, about 100 nudists had tested positive at a naturist resort in France.

One of their promotional message reads, "If you have airline and hotel reservations, bring your masks and sanitising items with you or if you still don't have reservations, we invite you to stay home." Organising this festival is looked as a way of recouping some money since during the lockdown, survival has been difficult. With people arriving here in thousands, this is a chance for the locals to recur those losses. Visitors will have to follow the health protocols, take sanitary measures and avoid crowds on the beach.

Former Vancouverite Danielle Tatarin relies on tourists for business but says health should come first

Danielle Tatarin hasn't been back to Canada in nearly two years.

The former Vancouverite owns a craft mezcaleria in the beach town of Playa Zipolite on Mexico's beautiful Pacific coast. 

The 40-year-old had hoped to return to northern Alberta this Christmas to see her parents or to have her family come to visit her, but COVID-19 changed all that. 

As somebody who relies on tourists to make a living, Tatarin has very mixed feelings about the politicians making headlines by doing the very thing she feels she cannot.

"It's kind of like a double-edged sword because, yes I make a business out of tourism, but when you're getting tourism from people who are promoting to stay home or from those people who should be taking their own advice, it's disheartening and it's maddening," she said.

"And there's so many people making sacrifices of not going home or not seeing their family. It's like it's a pandemic, but they don't want to admit it."

Only a handful of Canadians

In the past week, a series of politicians across the country have admitted to travelling to far-flung destinations over the holidays. 

Ontario's former finance minister resigned after returning from the Caribbean, and Alberta's former minister of municipal affairs resigned her post after coming back from Hawaii.

On Vancouver Island, a municipal councillor for the District of Metchosin defended a December trip to Cabo San Lucas at a time the province warned against non-essential travel.

Tatarin opened her business, Mezcalaria Gota Gorda, a few months before the pandemic first hit last spring. She had to close for four months, but was able to open up at the end of July.

Playa Zipolite, about 1,500 kilometres south of Cabo, only has about 1,000 full time residents. 

Tatarin says the beach town is normally popular with Canadians, but she's only seen a handful among the tourists who have returned to the community in recent months.

She says most Canadians who live part of the year in town have not returned.

'A little bit shocking to see the volume'

The same can't be said for people from other parts of the world.

"I was very surprised the last couple of weeks about the amount of people coming from everywhere and not giving two sh--s about the pandemic, not wearing masks or taking time in between their flights and just going out," she said.

"It was a little bit shocking to see the volume coming through, but I was actually even more shocked to see there wasn't more Canadians."

Tatarin says she wears a mask at all times in her business, constantly disinfects surfaces and keeps limited seats inside and outside the bar to allow for social distancing.

But she has been dismayed at how few of the tourists she sees are choosing to wear masks.

The bulk of the visitors she has seen have come from the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe — all places struggling to contain the rapid spread of COVID-19 and a recently-discovered variant of the virus that spreads even more easily.

The more people, the more risk

Tatarin says she was alarmed to see Playa Zipolite nearly double in population as people flocked to the town from around the world and other parts of Mexico to celebrate New Year's.

She fears those tourists will have left more than their pesos behind.

"The more people coming and going, the more risk of exposure and spread in any community, not just holiday spots," she said.

Tatarin says Canadians naturally worry about sun-seeking travellers bringing COVID-19 back to Canada. But she says they also should spare a thought for the citizens of a country like Mexico, where poverty is rampant and the sick can't afford testing and treatment when they do get ill.

"As much as paradise Coastal Mexico might seem, we are far from accessibility to hospital care and even testing," she said.

"Business-wise people travelling is good, but at what cost?"
