It's not uncommon in Cancun to look out one's window and see sunshine, while rain is falling on the opposite side.

Cancún resulted from a 1967 study by Banco de México to determine the feasibility of capturing more dollars and other foreign exchange through tourism development.

Although the Hotel Zone is frequently described as "posh" or "exclusive" government statistics indicate the main Cancún tourism market is middle to upper-middle-class. These statistics also report that more than 37% of Cancún visitors are Mexican.

Other great vacation destinations in Mexico are Cabo San Lucas, Playa Del Carmen, Cozumel, and Mazatlan.
