Rosarito Beach Reminds U.S. Visitors, Of New June 1 Document Requirements

ROSARITO BEACH, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO---This tourist destination reminds visitors from the United States that as of June 1 they’ll need a passport or similar document to re-enter the U.S. by land or sea.

That is the date for full implementation of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. Since January 2007 the requirements have been in effect for air travelers returning from Mexico or Canada.

Under the provisions, U.S. citizens age 18 or older re-entering the country will be required to show a passport, passport card, or approved traveler document such as a NEXUS or SENTRI pass.

Previously, a birth certificate and proof of identity were sufficient. For those under 18, a birth certificate still will be acceptable. Full requirements and application procedures are available at www.cbp.gov

Rosarito has posted notice of the changes on its Convention and Visitors Bureau website (www.rosarito.org) and shared them with city businesses and residents, which include an estimated 14,000 U.S. citizens.

The new requirements, according to U.S. officials, are intended both to make the border more secure and speed processing by providing inspectors with a more standard set of re-entry documents.


“We hope that the transition goes smoothly and that the new procedures do indeed make the border crossing more efficient for our visitors and others who use it,”
said Rosarito Beach Mayor Hugo Torres.

The San Ysidro port of entry, used by many of the one-million annual visitors to Rosarito, is the busiest border crossing in the world.

Baja Car Fest! Un exito total!

Baja Car Fest, además de beneficiar al Rincón Del Abuelo, trajo consigo una impresionante exhibición de autos, diversión, entretenimiento y visitantes a Playas de Rosarito.

Playas De Rosarito, B. C. Martes 19 de Mayo de 2009. – Rosarito fue la sede de la primer edición del evento BAJA CAR FEST, el cuál comprendió la exhibición de alrededor de 350 autos entre Clásicos, Low Rider, Mustangs, Bochos, Euros, así como bicicletas, fue impresionante ver el número de autos y personas que hacían fila para ingresar al Baja Car Fest, realizado en las instalaciones del Centro Comercial Pabellón Rosarito el pasado Domingo 17 de Mayo, las filas eran interminables, familias enteras disfrutaron de la exhibición de autos, comida, artesanías, diversión para los niños con payasos y brincolines, así como promociones de las empresas de la localidad.

Rosarito vivió un día como hacia muchos años no tenia, el Baja Car Fest rebasó las expectativas esperadas ya que la asistencia al evento fue de aproximadamente de 5000 personas provenientes de los 5 municipios de Baja California, como también de Los Ángeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Yuma, Las Vegas, y Sonora, según base de datos que nos hicieron llegar los organizadores.

El evento fue organizado por MVC Eventos: Víctor Hugo García León, Cindy Romero y Maky García, con el enorme apoyo del Concilio Automovilístico de Baja California, Presidido por Francisco González, así como del Car Club Tj Soul de Tijuana, presidido por Manuel Correa, uniendo esfuerzos para beneficiar la Creación de El Rincón Del Abuelo, que comprenderá programas de apoyo para los adultos mayores, así nos lo externo el Sr. Carlos Luís Romero, del Rincón del abuelo además, de agradecer a los organizadores el apoyo y esfuerzo brindado para la procuración de fondos para la creación de esta asociación civil.

Después de cumplir con el objetivo principal de recabar fondos para la creación de El Rincón del Abuelo, los organizadores lograron hacer con escasos recursos económicos financiar un evento que trajo consigo derrama económica a Rosarito, ya que los comercios y hoteles se vieron beneficiados con el arribo de turismo, que según palabras de los mismos comerciantes tenían muchísimo tiempo que ya no veían, así mismo nos comentaron los mismos comerciantes que desean que estos jóvenes promotores sean apoyados por más empresas y organismos para que sigan atrayendo turismo a la ciudad, ya que consideraron a este evento muy importante por la cantidad de personas que acudieron, y piensan que si trajeron tal cantidad de público sin contar con un presupuesto para la organización, que podrían hacer si contaran con el recurso suficiente para hacerlo, también solicitan a los organismos turísticos y empresas apoyen a estos jóvenes promotores para que sigan trayendo este y otro tipo de eventos a la ciudad ya que es lo que Rosarito necesita para levantar anclas nuevamente.

Externamos nuestras más sinceras felicitaciones a los organizadores por su invaluable esfuerzo al apoyar a las personas que más lo necesitan como lo son los adultos mayores, así como el beneficio brindado a Rosarito con la derrama económica que provocó el BAJA CAR FEST.

Esperemos y el próximo año lo lleven a cabo y se haga una tradición en Rosarito.

350 leaders of Victory Outreach International, visit Rosarito

Playas de Rosarito, B. C. - From the 14th to the 17th of April more than 350 Leaders and Pastors of “Victory Outreach International” participated in a spiritual retreat in Rosarito. This association has developed these types of biannual events for more than 20 years in this region. This month it held the retreat for men, and they have programmed the retreat for women for October. The participation of more than 1,500 female leaders is expected. Martha Pedroza, coordinator of events for “Victory Outreach International,” declared in an interview that in spite of hearing of violence in the border cities, they continue with faith in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the call to him. Many miracles have been seen that have changed the lives of delinquents to people of good through the word of God. Also, she declared that they feel very calm in the city. They have visited restaurants, made purchases, and done all of the tourist activities without having misfortune.

Pastor Joshua Abboutt, Director of “Urban Training Centers” (Centro de Entrenamiento Urbano) located in the San Antonio del Mar colony of Tijuana, related that the reason they are in the region is for bringing a revival and preparing people so that they take the religious message, not only to Rosarito but to the reach of all Baja California. Also he said that the stay of all the group in this city has been very pleasant, that they have become more acquainted with the city of Rosarito, and, that thanks be to God, they have been able to go out nights, to eat tacos, to amuse themselves without any problem of a criminal nature. The message he stressed is that
“Rosarito is a beautiful and hospitable city, which I consider as my own.”
He continued, saying:
“I love Rosarito and we are doing whatever is possible so that this city is an example for the state of Baja California and with everyone’s help we will be able to achieve this.”
