Business owners and traders in Tulum are coming together to address the challenges posed by the area's swift expansion. Key issues include the scarcity of public beaches, increasing violence, a deteriorating urban image, misconduct by taxi drivers and police, and contamination of water sources.
The federal government's privatization of public beaches and the introduction of entrance fees at Jaguar Park are cited as factors that negatively impact tourism. Those involved in the discussions are exploring solutions such as hosting festivals and enhancing the city's image.
Despite significant federal investments, a decline in tourist numbers is causing concern among local entrepreneurs. Local council members have pledged to address these issues in their council meetings.
