Tourism infrastructure and connectivity are being expanded in the Quintana Roo region of Mexico. In Tulum, officials at the Felipe Carrillo Puerto Tulum International Airport are working with the state Tourism Secretary to strengthen air connectivity, specifically targeting domestic and international routes for the 2026-2027 winter season to serve markets in North America.

In Cancún, efforts to bolster tourism include high-volume flight operations at Cancún International Airport and the introduction of new, affordable shuttle services by the transport company ADO to connect downtown hotels to the airport. However, despite these logistical improvements, local hotel officials have noted that occupancy rates are currently 15% to 20% lower than in previous years, a trend they attribute to a reduction in available airline seats.
