When considering buying Mexico beachfront for sale, it's important to realize the benefits which healthy tourism brings to owning a condo.   This point can be demonstrated well in the examples of Cancun real estate and Puerto Vallarta real estate, Mexico's two leading international tourist regions.

  

While they are almost on opposite extremes of the country, one on the Pacific and the other on the eastern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, and they differ in geographical appearance, they share many of the benefits which thriving tourism brings to these two areas.

Many activities

When an area is as popular as Cancun or Puerto Vallarta, the main economic activity is that of offering activities to tourists; the activities which can be found include professional golf, marinas, sailing, boat and fishing tours, diving, spas, fine dining, tours of historic areas and nature sightseeing, to name only a few.   There are also some off-shoot activities with high appeal to residents, such as movies, gyms and shopping malls.

  

Modern services - Along with tourism also comes the modern infrastructure to support mobility and comfortable living - good roads, high-speed internet, modern banks with ATMs, international stores like Walmart, Office Depot and Home Depot and much more.   There are also state-of-the-art hospitals, which offer the highest level service at a fraction of the price of that in the U.S.   Life in either of these places most certainly not lacking the comforts of home.

  

Easy air access - Both locations include well-connected international airports. Direct flights to all major North American airports leave regularly.   Recently, there has also been an increase in the number of discount airlines offering direct flights at surprisingly prices!   There are also a large number of connecting flights for reasonable prices either to save money or to arrive from smaller locations.

  

Rental potential - Since both areas have thriving tourism, those owning beachfront condos have the possibility of generating income by renting them out to other vacationers while they are not using them.   Buyers interested in this option should consult with an agent to be sure the potential is good for their property type and location.

  

Healthy resale market - A large number of tourists means healthy exposure to the main real estate market - tourists.   In both places owners can be confident that in the case of resale in the future, there is a sufficient flow of potential buyers.

  

Generally speaking, the atmosphere of Cancun and Puerto Vallarta is significantly different; yet, buyers can consider beachfront real estate in either location with confidence that they are gaining the full benefit of tourism.
