They can see it for themselves, this is a very secure place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Huatulco\u2019s 36 beaches attract over three million people and attract over three million tourists annually, according to local tourism authorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many visitors enjoy the region\u2019s cuisine, including at the restaurant of 73-year-old Cecilia Enriquez Gutierrez, who has been serving tourists for over five decades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe all work to protect Huatulco because tourism is our only sustainable source of income,\u201d she told EFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the concerns, Santa Cruz Bay welcomed dozens of international tourists over the weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesse, a visitor vacationing with his family for a week, said he felt safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been here for seven days, and we haven\u2019t seen any security problems.
