Tourism is big business in
Mexico. The semi tropical
climate and great beaches are
certainly the primary reasons.
Proximity to the United States
and an enlightened governmental
attitude that has been highly
intentional in promoting tourism
for a couple of generations are
also primary factors.
The East coast of Mexico is the
Caribbean coast boasting
hundreds of hotels and resorts
in Cancun, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres,
and spread along the so called
Mayan Riviera. There is an
international airport serving
Cozumel but all other
destinations feed through the
major airport near Cancun. This
is a very busy airport with
dozens of scheduled air arrivals
from North American cities
daily. There are also numerous
charter flights arriving daily
pouring thousands of tourists to
spread out to one of the nearby
resort destinations.
The West coast of Mexico is the
Pacific coast, and the resort
destinations are more spread out
and isolated from each other.
Each destination, such as Puerto
Vallarta and Mazatlan, are
served by its own international
airport. Some of these
destinations are newer and
planned as part of the proactive
governmental approach to
tourism, but many are older and
have been tourist hotspots
dating to the 1950s such as
Acapulco. Deep sea fishing is
especially good for the Pacific
coast resort areas.
