Data from the Federal Ministry of Tourism (Sedetur) reveals that Cancún has maintained its position as the second most popular destination for hotel occupancy. This information is based on a monitoring system that tracks 12 key tourist spots across the country.

For the 19th week of the year, spanning May 8 to 14, 2024, the average hotel occupancy rate across these 12 destinations was 54.3%. Cancún was among the locations with the highest occupancy, recording a rate of 68.2%. This figure is slightly higher by 0.4% compared to the same period last year, when the rate was 67.8%.

Los Cabos topped the list with a hotel occupancy rate of 68.9%, just 0.7% higher than Cancún. Puerto Vallarta followed in third place, with a 65.3% occupancy rate.
