Cancun Seeing Jump in U.S Visitors

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - September 29, 2016

Cancun is seeing a jump in visitors from the United States, according to the latest data from the Cancun Convention and Visitors Bureau.

While the destination saw an increase of 2 percent overall in the first half of 2016, Cancun reported a 5 percent jump in tourist arrivals from the U.S. in the same period.

There were a total of 1.058 million visitors from the US in the first half, followed by Great Britain, with 49,918 visitors and Argentina with 29,575 tourists.

“The destination continues to evolve year-after-year, always offering visitors fresh reasons to come back again and again,” said Jesus Almaguer, CEO of the Cancun CVB. “Cancun’s constant commitment to the expansion and diversification of its tourism offerings will lead the city into yet another record-breaking year in arrivals.”
