Cozumel islanders will honor lost loved ones, this week, as they celebrate El Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead.

The special Mexican occasion celebrates the lives of ancestors, and other deceased family members and friends.

Cozumel will put the clocks back an hour tonight, along with the rest of Mexico.

However, the clocks don't change in the U.S.A. and Canada until November 4, 2012, so next week the island will be one hour behind CST and two hours behind EST.

This is especially important for cruise ship passengers, as their ship time may be an extra hour ahead of local island time when they arrive.

Two major new hotel names will soon be coming to Cozumel in a move that is hoped to boost tourism on the island.

Secrets hotels are aimed mainly at couples and Sunscape at family and friends, both brands already have hotels on the Mexican Caribbean coast nearby.

Cozumel cosmetic surgery vacations are becoming more popular every year as medical tourists are attracted by high quality services at affordable prices.

Reduced from $154,400 to just $110,000.

Plans for a Cozumel wind farm were denied by the Mexican government's environmental department, Semarnat, this month, but the company behind them said they won't give up.

Today, in an exclusive interview with This is Cozumel, John Prock, General Director at Mexico Power Group, said they will be "downsizing the project" and applying for permission again.

He added that there needs to be a balance "between the positive environmental impact thru CO2 reduction and the local conditions."
