When we come up with the idea of making a real estate investment in a touristic destination in our country, we must consider different factors related to our purchase purpose. Whether our investment motivator is by business to generate returns on investment, by pleasure as a second home for vacation purposes or as a fixed residence if we are looking for a life change.

For us, the clue is to determine the capacity of people a destination can receive per year, this is a determining factor for the success of a real estate investment in a touristic area. Now, what determines the number of people that travel to a specific destination? Different factors, and the most important, are the following:

CONNECTIVITY: it is essential that the destination have a large-capacity airport, which receives daily domestic and international flights from the main world destinations. Cancun airport is today the most important in the country, since it is the one that receives the largest number of international flights daily and flies directly to the most important and visited destinations in the world. Reason why the country needed to build another international airport at a relatively very short distance from it.

CLIMATE: If a destination has a stable climate all year round, of course it will be the most visited and requested by tourists. The Mexican Caribbean, unlike other tourist destinations in the country, is warm all year round, the climate is ideal and the water temperature is never uncomfortable. This is one of the reasons why millions of tourists run away from the cold of their cities to take refuge in the heat of the Mayan lands all year round.

NATURE: One of the great motivators for current tourists when choosing a touristic destination, lies in the contact they may have with nature. The lifestyle and stress generated by living in large cities, makes people seek refuge in it during their vacations, this usually determines the quality of them. A natural destination will always attract more visitors. In the Mexican Caribbean, we have a unique natural diversity in the country. The crystal clear waters of the sea, the endless jungle, the wonderful cenotes, the beautifully colored lagoons, the second-longest coral reef in the world and a large fauna attract millions of people a year to this destination with the purpose of enjoying it.

HISTORY: History is a crucial instrument at a touristic level. Many tourists travel motivated to learn about the different cultures in the world. Countries like ours are the focus for cultural tourism. The Yucatan peninsula houses the vestiges of the most important pre-Hispanic civilization in history, the Mayan civilization. Several settlements with pre-Hispanic ruins preside over the most important destinations in southeastern Mexico. This is another of the fundamental reasons why tourism demand is so high in this area of the country.

TOURIST SERVICES: It is of the utmost importance to have excellent touristic services. Nobody likes to go through discomfort or lack of options when seeking experiences during their vacation stays. Nowadays, that word is very significant “experiences”, it is what people are looking for, and touristic services provide a great complement. The Mexican southeast is characterized by having an unprecedented offer of touristic services. Starting with a unique culinary offer, hotels of all levels, golf courses, marinas, shopping centers, theme parks, nightlife, holistic centers, musical events, beach clubs, polo clubs, diving, water and land sports and an endless list of options, position this area of the country as the most sufficient in “experiences”. The Mexican southeast currently has the great plus of touristic service called Ren Maya that will connect the main cities and magical towns in the mexican southeast. Adding a lot of value to the area and the investments that are made in it.

EMERGENCY: The great plus that destinations such as the Mexican Caribbean offer to real estate investors, is undoubtedly the number of destinations / emerging cities it has, is where the real opportunities are found for all those investors who seek to generate high capital gains and appreciations over time, investing very low capital, also achieving excellent returns on investment. This only happens in new cities, with low infrastructure and few services. They are undoubtedly the best investment opportunity in any real estate model.
