A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Blocked Suez Canal Might Cause Another Toilet Paper Shortage By Jason Hall March 26, 2021

 

Blocked Suez Canal Might Cause Another Toilet Paper Shortage

By Jason Hall

March 26, 2021

The world could face another toilet paper crisis amid a global shipping container crisis.

Suzano SA, which is the world's largest producer of wood pulp, a material needed to make toilet paper, warned that a demand for shipping containers could delay its shipments, Bloomberg.com reports.

Suzano SA's Chief Executive Officer Walter Schalka said there could be yet another global toilet paper shortage if the problem continues as the company has already been forced to push back shipments originally scheduled for March into April.

Bloomberg reports there has already been a worldwide shipping crisis even prior to the ongoing situation at the Suez Canal, where a giant vessel is blocking shipping vessel traffic and could take days or even weeks to move. An increased demand for shipping containers from China has led to a shortage that has trickled down through the global economy for months and already impacted supplies of other products such as coffee and cheese.

News of another possible toilet paper shortage comes one year after the COVID-19 pandemic hit the United States, which led to retailers scrambling to meet the high demands of individuals panic buying products -- notably toilet paper -- in bulk while facing quarantine.

Last April, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon told 'the TODAY Show,' "in the last five days, we've sold enough toilet paper for every American to have their own roll."

Oaxaca will keep beaches open at Easter, despite covid-19



The main beach destinations in Oaxaca , such as Puerto Escondido, Puerto Ángel, Zipolite and Bahías de Huatulco announced that for Easter they will have their beaches open, but with an occupancy in their hotels of 50 percent due to the epidemiological orange traffic light of Covid-19 .

Representatives of the tourism sector and service providers indicated, prior to the vacation period. that hotel occupancy will be at 50 percent, to avoid coronavirus infections.

Gustavo Ficachi Figueroa, president of the Huatulco Hotel Association, announced that in all hotels, hostels, and restaurants that are located in the municipality of Santa María Huatulco, a strict sanitary protocol will be applied to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV two.

"We are ready to receive tourism, we are complying with all the security measures that the different state, municipal and federal entities have required of us, both restaurants and different hotels, we have reinforced them, more strictly before the orange traffic light to prevent contagions and provide guarantees and security to our visitors ”, he pointed out.

Meanwhile, the representative of the Ministry of Tourism in Huatulco, Raúl Sinobas, reported that as emerging actions, sanitary filters were installed at the beach destination in the different accesses by land and in the air terminal, where medical brigades ask each visitor for their medical and health certificate, in addition to disinfecting each vehicle that arrives in the area.

Likewise, the temperature will be reviewed, the mandatory use of face masks will be required and the healthy distance will be enforced both in land transfers, as well as in the spaces where tourists stay.

In an interview, the Secretary of Tourism of the Government of Oaxaca, Juan Carlos Castellanos, reported that a safety guide and an opening manual were created in consensus with the leaders and representatives of the various chambers of commerce and hotel and motel associations that it contains the protocols and aspects that must be reviewed and followed when receiving visitors at hotels, restaurants, travel agencies and tour operators.

He reiterated that the traffic lights proposed by the federal government for the reopening and operation of the tourism sector will be respected, so that each establishment operates with the capacity agreed by the color of the traffic light; and a log will have to be made in which the user's information is recorded, from their health status to contact information.
