Low Hotel Fares Rub Cancun the Wrong Way

Potentially low hotel fares in both Cancun and the Mayan Riviera are bugging travel industry authorities who are concerned about a possible bad case of overblown demand.

The local Tourism Department informed that despite the area has plenty of building space for more hotels –barely 30 percent of the total surface is being used right now- opening more resorts there takes an array of additional actions to prevent travel gridlocks.

In line with official stats, average fares in Cancun are in the neighborhood of $130 a night, regardless of some others that sell for less that $50 apiece as a result of increasing pressure on the part of wholesalers.
