News in Mexico and beyond has been showing a good deal of excitement over the fact that in 2011, Mexico broke its historic record for tourists. While this news is exciting for many reasons, it is especially good news for many Mexico real estate owners, especially in resorts where owners can gain direct advantage from the growth.
In 2011, Mexico international tourism numbers reached 22.67 million visitors, breaking the previous 2008 record.
The number is 2% higher than in 2010, almost 6% higher than in 2009, and 0.2% than 2008. While the increase over 2008, it shows that Mexico’s tourism is growing consistently and is back on its spectacular pre-recession track.
This is a good sign for investors looking for return from rental income, as well as retirees and vacationers who cover expenses by renting out their property when they’re not using it. Healthy growth in tourism means healthy demand for vacation rentals in Mexico’s popular tourism destinations.
One region especially set to benefit from the ongoing growth in the upcoming year is the Yucatan Peninsula; with the special attention that 2012 is gaining as the end of the Mayan calendar, tourism is expected to see exceptional growth in this region.
Investors, vacationers and retirees can consider areas like Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Two excellent examples are Puerto Aventuras real estate and Bahia
Principe real estate. Both offer very close access to the Mayan world, the spectacular beaches of the Mexican Caribbean, as well as resort amenities and modern services. While visitors are eager to experience the Mayan world, they are most likely to do so within the comfort of resort and gated communities with amenities like sports complexes and golf courses.
