Hotels bow to power of TripAdvisor

Did TripAdvisor remove warnings about rapes and injuries at Mexico resorts? These tourists say so. After the mysterious death of a Wisconsin college student at a resort in Mexico - first reported by the USA TODAY Network's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - dozens of travelers say TripAdvisor muzzled their first-hand stories of blackouts, rapes and other ways they were injured while vacationing in Mexico. Ref. USAToday.
TripAdvisor places first warning 'badges' on three Mexican resorts after USA TODAY Network investigation found company blocked posts about rapes and injuries. Since July, when the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, part of the USA TODAY Network, began investigating the mysterious death of a Wisconsin college student in Mexico - and found widespread problems with tainted alcohol, derelict law enforcement and price gouging from hospitals - more than a dozen travelers from across the country have said TripAdvisor muzzled their first-hand stories of blackouts, rapes and other ways they were injured while vacationing in Mexico. One of the resorts that received a warning badge Wednesday was where Kristie Love and others were assaulted and where Abbey Conner, the 20-year-old Wisconsin woman mysteriously drowned just hours after arriving with her family.
