Justice Loretta Ortiz sparked controversy by asserting that the “all-inclusive” model means Mexicans are prohibited from accessing beaches

During a session of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), Justice Loretta Ortiz sparked controversy by asserting that the “all-inclusive” model means Mexicans are prohibited from accessing beaches.

This confusion generated criticism and ridicule, since the term does not restrict access based on nationality, but rather is a commercial scheme.

What exactly is “All-Inclusive”? In the tourism industry, the term “all-inclusive” refers to an accommodation model where the guest pays a single initial fee that covers the following services:

Lodging: The room and use of common facilities. Food and Beverages: All meals, snacks, and beverages (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) within the resort.

Activities: Access to shows, non-motorized water sports, and entertainment within the hotel.

The context of the controversy

The debate: The statement was made during the discussion of three cases concerning ejido lands in Mérida, Yucatán.

The confusion: Justice Ortiz mistakenly equated a hotel business model with a constitutional veto or discrimination against Mexicans in coastal areas.

The criticism: Social media users and experts pointed out that the all-inclusive concept does not imply the exclusion of Mexicans or the privatization of beaches.

They also noted that it is alarming that a Justice of the Supreme Court would not understand something so simple and fall into this type of confusion.
