Acapulco — Acapulco rose in popularity as a famous international travel destination beginning in the late 1940s through the 1960s as Hollywood stars flocked to city. Acapulco was where John F. Kennedy & Jackie Kennedy honeymooned, and Elizabeth Taylor married Mike Todd. Frank Sinatra sang about it in his popular song, “Come Fly with Me” and Elvis promoted it in his romantic film, “Fun in Acapulco.” Tourists followed in their footsteps, wanting to visit the town that touts natural beauty, from the golden sand beaches, to its tropical weather and warm sea water. These days, Acapulco no longer enjoys that level of international credibility, but visiting tourists from cruise ships originating in Southern California keep the place going.
