The year isn’t over, but Cancún has already received an unprecedented number of visitors! By the end of 2022, the number of tourists who visited the popular Mexican Caribbean destination is expected to reach nearly 6 million, breaking all previous records. The city has completely recovered from the effects of the pandemic, and its popularity may have even increased in spite of it. This is because Mexico did not close its borders during the pandemic, so American tourists began flooding to vacation destinations in the country, with Cancún receiving the bulk of these travelers.

Staying open during the pandemic isn’t the only thing that has made Cancún popular, but it has led to the rediscovery of this enchanting destination. Now, more people than ever realize just how much the vibrant coastal city has to offer, and although its stunning beaches are a huge draw, they are not the only thing that brings tourists to Cancún. Below, we share a few of the reasons that so many tourists are discovering that Cancún is their new favorite beach vacation destination.

Luxury Accommodations
There are nearly 100 hotels and resorts in and around the Cancún Hotel Zone, most of them luxury all-inclusive resorts, but there is something for every budget.

Perfect Weather & Beaches
It can be said that it never gets cold in Cancún. Temperatures rarely ever drop below 70 degrees – even during January, its “coldest” month!

Ancient Mayan History
Visitors don’t have to travel far from Cancún to explore the fascinating history of the Mayan culture, with some smaller Mayan ruins and a Mayan museum located right within the city.

Adventure Tourism
Few vacation destinations offer such a diverse set of activities to participate in, and for many who visit Cancun, adventure tourism falls on the must-do list.
