CASE NUMBER: 86
CASE MNEMONIC: CANCUN
CASE NAME: Cancun Tourism
A. IDENTIFICATION
1. The Issue
Cancun, once one of most unfettered tropical areas in Latin
America, is today one of the most visited tourist destinations in
Mexico. Cancun is located on an island and is comprised of
beautiful white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, an abundance of
coral, and a lagoon that is home to a wide variety of indigenous
species. The resulting tourist industry extensively damaged the
lagoon, obliterated sand dunes, led to the extinction of varying
species of animals and fish, and destroyed the rainforest which
surrounds Cancun. More than 20 years later, the Mexican government
has moved to limit projects along the coast in an attempt to prevent
further damage to its already eroded environment. On June 5, 1993
President Carlos Salinas de Gortari signed an agreement that created
conservation zones prohibiting further development.
