REASONS WHY TULUM IS SEEING RECORD TOURISM THIS YEAR
Amid the winter season and prevailing freezing temperatures across most of the United States, Americans are increasingly drawn to the sunny allure of the Mexican Caribbean. This region, celebrated for its pristine beaches, favorable weather, and breathtaking ocean views, is experiencing a surge in popularity. Tulum, in particular, has emerged as the favored destination for U.S. vacationers, surpassing even Cancun in terms of bookings. According to Mexico’s tourism authority, Sectur, Tulum boasts a local occupancy rate of 88%, outperforming Cancun’s 81.4%.
Tulum’s appeal lies in its recognition as one of the best destinations in the Mexican Caribbean, as per TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards. The town offers award-winning service and a diverse tourist experience, hosting top-rated properties like Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya and Secrets Tulum. Additionally, Tulum presents a cost-effective option for the average American traveler, with a week-long hotel stay averaging $1,057, according to Budget Your Trip.
Safety is a paramount concern for visitors, and Tulum addresses this with heightened security measures in downtown areas and major tourist attractions, ensuring a low-risk environment for international travelers. Despite being a Level 2 destination as per the State Department, indicating moderate caution, the presence of round-the-clock patrols and adherence to safety guidelines have made Tulum a secure and appealing choice for U.S. tourists.
