In response to increasing tourist numbers in Cancún and its surrounding area, a number of recent and planned developments of new resorts and sustainability initiatives are popping up across the region.
Over the Easter holiday several resort towns completely sold out, and Cancún International Airport reported a spike in numbers. Airport authorities claimed that in the month of March alone, 2.8 million visitors landed in Cancún.
The resort towns of Holbox, Bacalar and Mahahual reported being at full capacity during Easter/spring break season. Several airlines have increased their routes to Cancún for the summer in response to the influx of tourism, including Sun Country.
Hipotels announced plans for an adults-only property, Haven Resorts Cancún, set to open in September of this year. The resort will sit between Cancún and Riviera Maya and will feature 333 guestrooms, five restaurants, nine bars (two of which will be swim-up), a full spa and more.
In addition to hotel development in Mexico, regional government associations are pushing for Tulum and Isla Mujeres to become Zones of Sustainable Tourism Development. Steps are being taken in order to preserve their richness and natural beauty. Over the past eight years, Tulum has grown 24 percent and Isla Mujeres 22 percent — creating a need for preservation of the beautiful destination and its surroundings.

In front of an audience of 30,000 Kingdom of Bhutan residents and officials, His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck presented his vision for a new economic hub in Bhutan. Located between India to the south and China to the north, Bhutan is one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Bhutan came late to global tourism. It opened its borders to international visitors in 1974 and, while tourism definitely increased, residents are enduring “light” rush-hour traffic in Thimphu, its capital city, as the only Asian capital without traffic lights.
