Cancun is expected to receive nearly 6 million tourists this year, breaking all previous tourism records.
This is largely because Mexico did not lock its borders during the pandemic, allowing American visitors to flock to Mexico, with Cancun gaining tremendous popularity.
We will discuss some of the factors that lead so many travelers to choose Cancun as their new favorite beach vacation spot for this winter.
Luxury Resorts
In and around the Cancun Hotel Zone, there are almost 100 hotels and resorts, the majority of which are opulent all-inclusive resorts with accommodations for every price range. Numerous all-inclusive resorts provide upscale dining options, 24-hour room service, and even daily supplied mini-fridges in addition to a variety of activities.
Shiny days and perfect beaches
It may be stated that Cancun never experiences chilly weather. Even in January, the coldest month, the temperature hardly ever falls below 70 degrees. Cancun is the ideal place for a winter break because the average high temperature is around 84 degrees and has miles of amazing beaches.
Ancient Mayan History
Cancun has some minor Mayan ruins and a Mayan museum, so visitors won’t have to travel far to learn about the interesting history of the Mayan people. However, there are countless chances for anyone prepared to venture a little farther outside of the city.
One of the most well-known Mayan ruins, Chichén Itzá, is just a few hours away from Cancun, and there are a ton of other fascinating sites to visit on the route.
Mexican and International Food Scene
Even the food at all-inclusive resorts has improved. Dishes from around the world are prepared by internationally acclaimed chefs and local culinary masters using the flavors and fresh ingredients of the area.
Adventure Tourism
Few vacation spots provide such a wide range of activities, and adventure tourism is a popular activity among visitors to Cancun.
Visitors can plan trips for thrilling adventures like swimming with whale sharks, leaping in cenotes, and ATVing and ziplining through the jungle, to name just a few. Many adventure parks, including Xcaret, Xplor, and Xel-Ha, are also close by and provide a combination of some of these activities as well as others.
