Since normalcy has returned to the world, Americans have been bitten by the travel bug when more. Whether it be locations closer to home or exotic-sounding unusual locations, they are flying with passports in hand in countryside.
But, they appear to be drawn to one place in particular the most:
Tulum appears to be on everyone’s radar these days thanks to its miles of sandy beach, waters of the deepest blue, and dotted with resorts vying for the title of grandest, ideal, or most opulent.
Although it is a tried-and-true shore hotspot, 2024 appears to be its biggest year but, with more interesting developments in store:
Amazing Leisure Resorts
Tulum is primarily a resort city, and “resort” is really what it does best. However, that’s not necessarily bad because you wo n’t find the same level of exceptional, award-winning hospitality anywhere else in Mexico or Latin America.
The town is primarily focused on tourism, so if you wanted to spend all of your money on a massive, state-of-the-art, all-inclusive beachfront hotel, go there. Despite gentrification debates, it is the ideal destination for first-time Stateside visitors because it can feel quite Anglo:
Since English is widely spoken in resorts, you wo n’t need to brush up on your nonexistent Spanish, and because of the abundance of American-style diners, the sizable expat community that lives in the area, as well as the tourist-friendly beaches, guests will hardly ever feel homesick.
Mexico is a good place to start, if you will. Not that it’s necessarily a bad item.
A burgeoning social gateway
Tulum may be the destination capital of the Hispanic Caribbean, but most people are unaware that it is a developing cultural hub.
Granted, compared to the social hubs of Merida or Valladolid, also on the Yucatan Peninsula, it is not quite there yet, but some state-led initiatives are highlighting its historical value and heritage in an effort to diversify the tourist market.
One such instance is the beginning of a brand-new Frida Kahlo Museum close to the historical area.
Although Kahlo has no known ties to Tulum and was raised and spent the majority of her life in the village of Coyoacán, which is now a part of Mexico City, this fresh cultural hub will assist introduce resort guests to the classic Mexican painter and controversial figure from the 20th century without making them travel far.
Also, El Castillo, a pre-Hispanic castle that is part of an older Mayan ruined arrangement and sits perched on rock face towering over white sands and overlooking the bright-blue Caribbean, is one of Mexico’s most well-known historic structures and is located in Tulum.
Observe, you? Even when there are shores involved, Tulum is not all about the shores.
Tulum Is absurdly secure.
Tulum is also much safer than it has ever been.
Even though the Mexican Caribbean as a whole is relatively low-risk, the peculiar legal event has happened in the past, according to the American State Department, which ranks the majority of the Yucatan Peninsula states as Level 2 or 1.
Gang fights have primarily occurred in Cancun, Tulum, Playa Del Carmen, and other major urban centers ‘ suburbs, but they have n’t been known to have any direct or indirect negative effects on innocent tourists.
In fact, in the past year or even earlier, there has n’t been a single instance of violence-related harm or death to visitors while they were on vacation in Tulum, demonstrating that the city is completely safe for tourists, especially now that” thousands of troops” are being deployed.
The Cancun Sun predicts that Tulum’s monitoring will step up significantly this time to protect visitors.
A brand-new station and aircraft
Ultimately, this autumn will see the beginning of a brand-new international airport connecting the town to several locations in Mexico and the US, as well as the Maya Train’s arrival at Downtown Tulum.
Although not all roads are quickly administrative, the Maya Train was formally launched on December 1.
The coach will connect the Caribbean city to all other Mayan Riviera destinations, including Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, and Porto Morelos, significantly facilitating vacation and making it safer for guests to get around. However, service from Tulum may take some time long to begin.
Regarding the airport, 6 U.S. hubs, including New York ( Newark ), Houston, Chicago, and Los Angeles, have so far announced nonstop connections to Tulum International Airport.
However, as demand for Tulum rises, we anticipate that more roads will soon be confirmed.
