Cancun and the nearby Caribbean resorts are some of the favorite destinations in Mexico among international tourists. However, they were shaken by various violent events in recent years.

Last weekend, a British businessman living in Playa del Carmen was shot to death. On January 26, an Argentine who was the manager of a popular club in Playa del Carmen was killed with two shots to the head.

While on January 21, two Canadians were killed and another was injured in a shooting at a hotel complex near Cancun.

The Quintana Roo prosecutor’s office pointed out that most of these crimes are related to retail drug sales or extortion.

The Mexican Caribbean is one of the main beach destinations in the world and in turn is also the emblem of the country’s tourism, an activity that represents 8.5% of GDP.
