Nudists want Mexico's Zipolite beach to become global destination

[Danee]

One of the goals at the 6th Latin American Nudists Gathering, which will be held Jan. 28-30, is to turn Zipolite, a famous beach community in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, into a global clothing-optional destination, organizers said.
"Zipolite is the nudist beach that comes closest to having legal status in Mexico," Mexican Nudists Federation, or FNM, president Juan Marcos Castañeda told EFE.
The FNM was formed in December 2011 and has about 50 members, Castañeda said.
Mexico has many other beaches and locations where "nudity is practiced and tolerated," but there are no laws or regulations that allow naturism, Castañeda said.
Nudity is allowed only along the 1.75-kilometer (1.1-mile) shore of Zipolite, but clothing must be worn in the community's streets and hotels.
The FNM hopes that at some point the entire beach community of about 1,000 people will be clothing optional, like in some destinations in Europe, where people can enjoy the "nudist life," Castañeda said."We want it to be a celebration of the town and for them, so they can see the potential of welcoming local and foreign nudist tourism," the FNM president said.
Organizers hope that the gathering, which is expected to draw between 250 and 300 people, will continue in coming years.
Naturists from Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Ecuador and Spain have registered for the event.

 I'm in favor! I hope Zipolite does achieve its goal of making it a global destination like Cap D'Adge. I know some of the member from the nudist federation, and they are psyched about it. Below I attached a link about The Latin American Nudist Gathering, in spanish.
