Mexico bouncing back after hurricane
The Riviera Maya’s entire supply of hotel inventory is back in operation, reports Rodolfo Elizondo, Mexico’s secretary of tourism.
By next February he said, 90% of Cancun’s hotel rooms should also be operational after the destruction of Hurricane Wilma.
Cancun has 11,900 rooms while the Riviera Maya has 24,000, he added.
He said all shopping centers and golf courses should be functional this month, as well as Cancun Center, the city’s convention facility.
The Mexico tourism Board has a $10 million media campaign with the tagline “Paradise is Forever.”
Various new and restoration projects are underway.
“We think it’s an opportunity to re-establish ourselves,” said Mr Elizondo.
