Baja California hosts Emerging Baby Boomers conference in Rosarito

Baja California and AMAR Retirement Communities Association present educational seminar for development experts

The city of Rosarito in Baja California, Mexico, welcomes the Emerging Baby Boomers Conference on Nov. 16-17, 2011, hosted by Baja California and AMAR, the Retirement Communities Association in Mexico. The two-day conference takes place at the Rosarito Beach Hotel and will address the nature of the baby boomer market. The conference will also highlight how businesses and investors can reach this market and continue developing the senior living and care industry within the Baja California and Sea of Cortes regions

Baja California provides economic stability, socio-cultural comfort and geographic appeal, fitting the retirement needs of those ages fifty and older. There are more than 100,000 retirees and expats living full- or part-time in the Sea of Cortes and Baja Peninsula areas, with approximately 35 percent of these retirees requiring some form of assisted living care. The Emerging Baby Boomers Conference will not only highlight everything Baja offers for retirees, but will also provide investors and developers with immediate and long-term business opportunities to help their business thrive in a growing market.

"Our location is unparalleled with any other region in Mexico and considered the next big retirement and expat destination in the country," said Javier Govi, Founder & President of AMAR. "In fact, this region alone has the largest retirement population in Latin America. By 2020, the total number of retirees and expats is expected to increase to 250,000."

Guest speakers include Jeff Stevens, director of planning at Danielian Associates; David Truly, president of IRM Research; Chad Martin, principal of Global Research; and Rick Jensen, president and chief executive officer of Northstar Senior Living.

What is Baja?

FRIEDMAN: Busy Mexican fishing trip is planned - The Daily Breeze

Philip Friedman Outdoors is headed to Rosarito Beach Nov.25-27 for fishing, golf, shopping and great Baja cuisine. A bus will be waiting on the U.S. side of the border to take the group to the Rosarito Beach Hotel and back so that no one will have to drive in Mexico or pay for Mexican Insurance.

A fishing trip is planned out of Ensenada, as well as side trips to the La Bufadora blowhole, Ensenada, and the Baja Wine Country. Also along on the trip will be Dr. Dave Patel from Long Beach Memorial Hospital. He will be putting on a free medical clinic for the poor in Rosarito Beach. PFO is also taking an X-ray machine to a poor clinic in Baja so that more people might be cared for.

If you would like to join in on this great weekend, you can get more information by calling 424-237-0250 or by e-mailing PhilipFriedmanOutdoors@gmail.com. Cost for two people and two nights at the Rosarito Beach Hotel is $199.

Squid show: More and more market squid keep showing up in the Santa Monica Bay. If you see lights glowing off Hermosa Beach or El Segundo, you are seeing the squid boats as they attempt to lure the mollusks to the surface. The squid are being used as bait for a variety of fish. Boats from Redondo and Marina del Rey continue to catch good amounts of lingcod, vermillion rockfish and other rockfish. There also have been occasional catches of sand and calico bass, a few white seabass and even a yellowtail or two!
