Mexico's internal problems and Playa del Carmen

There is a lot of talk about "el muro" in Mexico. The political class should be talking about the chaos in the country and how this is impacting the economy.

Today, we read that the US closed a consulate office indefinitely.   This is from news reports:   
"The State Department abruptly closed the US consulate in the popular tourist destination of Playa del Carmen late Wednesday evening and ordered  US government employees to stay out of the area. 
They warn other Americans either in the region or thinking of traveling to it about a “real crime threat” from local drug cartels......"
This is awful news for a country that relies on tourism dollars.
