Cancun: Tourists Returning
There’s lots of debate in the the press right now about whether Cancun is or is not back on track in it’s Hurricane Wilma recovery efforts. I’m not really paying all that much attention to how far they’ve gotten in the recovery effort, because I see that everyone here is working as fast as possible. It doesn’t really matter what was promised, they can only do what they can do.
What I know to be true is that the tourists ARE coming back, and in numbers which are becoming signifigant. Yesterday more than 14,000 people came through the Immigration booths at the Cancun airport. That’s way up from a few weeks ago. And it’s a little better than half of what might be expected for an average Saturday during the high season (and December is part of the high season). I consider this to be very strong evidence that tourists are returning to the area. And that their confidence is being restored.
