Did You Think Cancun Is An Ancient City?
The Mexican resort city of Cancun was sleepy countryside before a building boom in the 1970s. Things got interesting when the Mexican government made the decision to create a resort that would appeal to international tourists. They would start the development project and offer travel deals to entice visitors; it worked.
Now, less than 40 years later there are well over 100 hotels along a several-mile stretch called the Hotel Zone. The town is now a major city with an urban downtown, major shopping areas and world-class dining. The competitive market in this slow economy is motivating the resort operators to offer some very attractive Cancun travel deals.
I will point out that the whole region can become very hot and humid in the summer months. It might be worthwhile to consider a trip when it is cooler in the Spring or Autumn months.
Speaking of traveling, one creative gift idea for family or friends who are celebrating a special occasion is to give them travel gift vouchers. You can give a voucher, or gift card, that will pay for rental car, various airlines and hotel chains and, if you give a voucher for Travelocity, they have even more flexibility in how they use the card.
We’ve observed that travel gift vouchers are less common in the U.S. than in European countries. You must be careful to buy a gift card that is useful and flexible, so they are not for everybody.
