The island was a Spanish colony until 1655, when it was seized by England's navy on the orders of Oliver Cromwell.
The aim of reaching a total of 200.000 Spanish tourists who opt for the Rivera Maya during 2019 is included in the predictions announced by Dario Flota, Director of the Tourism Promotion Council of Quintana Roo (CPTQ).
This figure would represent an increase of more than 11 percent compared to the previous year, in order to accomplish it we count on the increase in the travel frequencies of several airlines; which operate larger aircraft with greater capacity.
The Mexican Rivera Maya is very attractive for having a large coastal area, for being close to the jungle, for having comfortable hotels, good gastronomic offers and a varied cultural, sports and night recreation program.
Flota recalled in the digital meeting convened by the Association ‘MexicanosAquí’ that tourist destination annually receives some 17 million visitors, and he specified that measures are taken so that the sargasso does not spread and turns out an obstacle in the purpose of attracting tourists.
