Adios hurricane Dean! Aug 21, 2007 |
At 4:30AM EST this Tuesday, Dean made landfall 15 miles north of Chetumal a devestating force 5 hurricane with 165mph winds with a low pressure of 906mb. But you all don't care about its' pressure or stuff but how it effects your hotel reservations.
OK. I hear you!
First some geography is in order for those who are not so familiar with the coast of Quintana Roo. Chetumal a city of 130,000 people is on the border of Belize and is Q Roo's most southern city more than 250km south of Tulum; and as Akumal the Riviera Maya are much further north, Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Isla Mujeres not effected. Cancun is over 380kms from Chetumal.
The ecological reserve Sian Ka an just north of Chetumal got hit bad but good people don't live there. Only crocodiles and swindlers who charge exorbitant prices for tours through the reserve.
Dean continues inland still a force 2 hurricane now in Campeche (western neighboring state of Quintana Roo). The government has been busy evacuating Mayans living in their palapas in harm's way.

20 million dollars beach recuperation for Cancun November 9, 2005 |
Cancún, 9 de Noviembre.- El gobernador del Estado, Félix González Canto, sostuvo hoy una reunión con el secretario de Turismo, Rodolfo Elizondo Torres, donde se acordó que en la segunda quincena de diciembre se pondrá en marcha el proyecto de recuperación de playas, con una inversión de 200 millones de pesos.
In other words the Governor of Quintana Roo Félix González Canto reached an agreement with Federal Secretary of Tourism for 20 million dollars to recuperate Cancun's beaches.
This will focus from Punta Cancun to Punta Nizuc where the beaches were damaged. Work will begin mid-December so my guess is by the end of December improvement should be seen judging by the speed they recuperated beaches in Playa del Carmen.

This successful project is a beautiful working example of the tight relationship between the development of tourism and the conservation and care of natural resources.
It is a model example of citizens working with the private sector and the Mexican government.
Witness and celebrate this here in Cancun on our sugar-white beaches caressed by transparent turquoise waters.

The Cancun supermarkets July 18, 2004 |
Everyone takes the bus to Wal-Mart. Yes, Cancun has a Wal-Mart. As a matter-of-fact it has two. There are also several Chedrauis; many Comercial Mexicanas; a Carrefour; and a Soriana. Each super-market has its own advantages. And in addition to these indoor air-conditioned mega stores you can find outdoor markets such as mercardo 23 or mercardo 28. If all you need is a loaf of bread and a six pack of beer any of the supermarkets will do. However: IF you are looking for tender beef the Soriana offers choice red meat. For a wide selection of exotic fruits also go to Soriana. Vegetables are most extensive at the Mega Comercial Mexicana. For bagels from Mexico City the Wal-Mart is your only choice.

Or at Parque Nizuc (alias: Wet and Wild) on the road to the airport. About 2 miles out of the hotel zone.

III Foro Nacional de Turismo Cancun excerpts Jan 24, 2005 |
Quintana Roo is a model of what turism can do for a state. After the Mexican revolution the Mayans lived almost as slaves working on the haciendas. Today there are more oportunities of employment for everyone in areas directly or indirectly related to turism.
Tourism is the third most important industry in Mexico.
The friendliness of the Mexican people encourage tourism.
After just 34 years of existance Cancun has a population in size of Merida, a city of hundreds of years in age.
Some of the lobster caught in the waters of Isla Mujeres is exported to the USA.
Quintana Roo now has the highest level of immigration in Mexico.
Cruise ships contribute little to the city hosting them, rather they take advantage of existing infrastructures and natural surroundings.
