North Americans considering buying Yucatan real estate already enjoy one of the best services available in Mexico in terms of travel back home with the Merida international airport, and an excellent second option of the Cancun International Airport only a couple of hours away. This service is about to get even better with an investment of about 24 million dollars from Asur, the company which operates the Merida airport.
The $24 million investment (280 million pesos) come as a followup to the $40 million invested during 2009. The new investment will focus on the remodeling and expansion of various areas, including work in the boarding corridors, the waiting rooms where passengers wait for their trains and the creation of a centralized area for checked baggage with new high-efficiency technology. There will also be a new space for culture and art, which will expand on that of the main terminal, considered one of the best within Mexico.
Making visits back home, as well as receiving friends and family who come to enjoy part of your warm-weather retirement with you, more pleasant, the ongoing improvement of the airport will do its little part in continuing to make Merida more appealing as a Mexico retirement destination. The city is also investing and promoting the opening of new retirement-focused health care facilities. Combined with the very high level of safety – residents can be out and about in the city at any time without concern for safety – and beautifully maintained colonial city center, Merida is set to be an ideal choice for retirement in a warm climate with all services nearby.
Campeche real estate, set in an up-and-coming tourist destination just south of Merida and the state of Yucatan, will also benefit from the improvements in the Merida airport; although Campeche has 2 international airports (one an hour south in Ciudad del Carmen,) the larger variety of options in Merida make it a more common choice for those flying from the U.S. or Canada.
