Growth of the Riviera Maya

In 1995 there were approximately 1,470 hotel rooms in the Riviera Maya around Cancun and Playa del Carmen, today there are almost 35,000, and in 2010 there will be over 39,000. According to The Guinness Book of World Records, Playa del Carmen, by a rate of 26 % annum, is “The world’s fastest growing town”. However, due to the laws restricting the height and density of the newly erected buildings, the Riviera Maya does not and will never have that “Metropolis Cancun” look and feel. Within just a few years, this former accumulation of rural, quaint fishing villages has developed into a world class travel destination offering incredible opportunities for business entrepreneurs and real estate professionals alike. Some of the biggest names in hotels have moved in and with it a cosmopolitan and diverse style and way of life.

We at Investment Properties Mexico are in touch with the place’s heartbeat. We help you to be one step ahead, to be part of this breathtaking development, to gain and live by the pulse of one of the hottest spots in the world.
