The final week of July and agugust is seeing increased cruise activity for Cozumel real estate. Cozumel’s economy is based mostly in cruise tourism. While the swine flu travel advisory brought a complete halt to cruise activity in Cozumel, the number of arrivals has been increasing steadily since that time.
Friday, July 24th, already saw healthier numbers with three cruises arriving on that day. Two cruises arrived to Puerta Maya pier; the Carnival Valor arrived at 6:30 am, and left at 4 pm; the Carnival Conquest arrived at 9 am, staying until 6 pm. One cruise, Freedom of the Seas, also arrived to the SSA pier. The estimated total of passengers was between 7,000 and 9,000.
During the last week of July, the well-known “Disney Magic” with a capacity of 2500 passengers arrived – one of 16 cruise ships which the island was scheduled to welcome that week. Disney Magic arrived at Punta Langosta, being the first cruise to arrive at this pier in two weeks. Although the cruise is the only one scheduled for this week, it brought a significant amount of activity, and economic movement, to the shopping area near the wharf and downtown while it was here.
A more consistent arrival of cruises to the island means a stronger economic situation for Cozumel real estate. Keep in touch with the TOPMexicoRealEstate NETWORK, "Your Expert Property-Finders," to get information related to Cozumel and the Cozumel real estate market.
