Tulum Opens Beaches for Free to Boost Local Economy

Tulum's mayor, Diego Castañon, has unveiled a new measure to boost the local economy. The once bustling beaches are now eerily empty, with hotel occupancy rates plummeting from 62.6% in late July to 54.2% in early October. The Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport has also witnessed a significant drop in flights, ranging from 30% to 40%.

In response to these challenges, the mayor has decided to open the beaches free of charge. This move aims to attract more visitors, allowing them to enjoy Tulum's coastal attractions without financial barriers.

However, visitors will need to adhere to certain rules. They will not be permitted to bring food, drinks, coolers, umbrellas, or other personal items onto the beaches. The mayor emphasizes that consumption should be limited to authorized establishments located on the beaches. This strategy is designed to support local businesses and stimulate the regional economy.

Castañon reassures tourists that Tulum remains a safe and welcoming destination. He urges visitors to respect the beaches and enjoy them responsibly. The high prices, insecurity, and displacement of national tourism by foreign tourism have posed significant challenges to the local business economy. The mayor's initiative seeks to address these issues and revitalize Tulum's tourism sector.

The mayor, Diego Castañon, has implemented rules to ensure tourists consume at local businesses, supporting the region's economy while maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all.
