Cancun Continues To See Strong Tourism Growth
They say being first has its perks. When it comes to Cancun, that couldn’t be more true. Cancun was the very first destination to reopen for tourism to the world back on June 8th, 2020.
In its first month alone, Cancun International Airport received over 70,000 tourists. While Cancun was originally restricted to only 30% capacity at its hotels, it recently announced that it was moving to the second phase of reopening which would allow for a 60% occupancy rate.
