Thousands of Mexican vacationers have begun crowding the shops and resorts in the communities of South Texas at the start of the Easter holiday period.
Border authorities point to "a busy week" ahead.
The wave of Mexican tourists every year during this holiday period represents a major injection of dollars to malls, parks, resorts, hotels and restaurants in border communities in the United States.
And now, Mexicans can buy more duty free. Recently the country's Tax Administration Service (SAT) expanded from $75 to $300 the amount on which duties and taxes are being dropped during the Easter period.
