Of course, of the most important announcements of recent years not only for the Tulum Real Estate industry, but also for the entire state of Quintana Roo (which also includes Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Cozumel) is the opening of the bidding for the concession for the new Riviera Maya International Airport in Tulum.
