Mexico’s iconic resort town of Acapulco is still reeling from last fall’s historic hurricane, described as the most devastating in its history. 🌪️ Beaches once packed with tourists now bear the scars of shattered infrastructure, while locals grapple with rebuilding their lives and livelihoods.
CGTN’s Alasdair Baverstock reports that recovery efforts are crawling forward, with businesses and residents facing months—or even years—of work to restore the city’s former glory. 💔 Once a hotspot for international travelers, Acapulco’s tourism-driven economy has taken a massive hit, leaving many questioning how the town will adapt to future climate challenges.
Despite the hurdles, community spirit remains strong. 🛠️ Local volunteers and aid groups are banding together to clear debris and support displaced families. Still, experts warn that without sustained investment, Acapulco’s revival could stall—a stark reminder of the growing risks coastal cities face in an era of extreme weather.
