Impact

The southeast of Mexico has a wide range of tourist attractions: beaches with crystal clear water, archaeological sites, some of them declared World Heritage Sites, cenotes, subway rivers, Magical Towns, cultural destinations, among others.

However, not all tourist destinations have been fully developed, the potential has not been tapped and many communities have been left on the margins.

In the same way, this Project together with the Tulum airport comes to Detonate the Area as a Privileged Destination for Tourism Real Estate Investment.

The Mayan Train will connect the southeast in a comprehensive development project

Every year, more than 17 million tourists arrive in the area, leaving economic benefits and creating formal jobs that drive the local economic development. Currently, 83% of foreign tourists limit their stay to the Quintana Roo area and, within the state, the vast majority of visits are concentrated in the destinations of Cancun and Riviera Maya.

Like the problem of integration of local populations, the lag in connectivity has limited the alternatives available to tourists in the region to visit destinations or tourist attractions in optimal conditions of time, cost and safety, from their main destinations or point of departure. internment.

The Mayan Train aims to increase the number of visitors and the average length of stay in the region in those destinations that have the potential to take full advantage of their tourist attractions in a sustainable manner.

In short, the Mayan Train will bring innumerable benefits to all, local communities, tourist destinations, foreign and domestic tourists, as well as the general population.
