A Brief Cancun History

Prior to 1970 Cancun was a small Mayan fishing settlement with only about 100 people living in the area, at which time it was decided by the Mexican government that it would be turned into a tourist destination. The first hotel opened in 1974 and within a year the city was welcoming approximately 100,000 visitors. By the 1980s Cancun was booming as a vacation destination and more resorts were showing up in the city, along with an increase in tourists, particularly from the U.S. and Europe.

Why Cancun Is What It Is Today

The reason Cancun was chosen by the Mexican government to be a vacation destination was that it has so much to offer, namely its stunning white sand beaches and turquoise blue water. Cancun is more than just one of the best beach destinations in the world, though, not that that’s a bad title to have. But visiting Cancun also gives tourists the opportunity to explore fascinating Mayan ruins and history, unbelievable nature like cenotes and the Mayan jungle, and pure luxury at some of the most incredible all-inclusive resorts in the Mexican Caribbean.

Cancun Awards

Cancun has been nominated for a number of prestigious awards this year for being a top vacation destination, not just in Mexico, but in the world. In the World Travel Awards, it was nominated for both the Mexico & Central America’s Leading Beach Destination 2022 award, and the World’s Leading Beach Destination 2022 award. Although it did not win in these categories, Cancun di take awards home for being Mexico & Central America’s Leading Meetings & Conference Destination 2022 and Mexico’s Leading Destination 2022.

It doesn’t look like tourism is going to slow down in Cancun anytime soon, at least not according to the numbers. Hotels during the winter and holiday season have been near capacity, and Cancun International Airport just broke an all-time record for daily flights. In one day 719 flights flew in and out of the airport, the majority of them originating from foreign locations.
