Cancun:
Cancun is a city located in the eastern coast of Mexico in the state of Quintana Roo, on the Yucatan Peninsula. Originally known as Ekab ("Black Earth") what is now the northern district of the Quintana Roo state was densely populated by people who spoke the language of the Mayans when the Spaniards arrived, according to conquistador Bernal Diaz. Years after the Conquest the population of this part of Mexico died off or left the region for many reasons, war, disease, piracy, and famine. There were only a bunch of people left on Isla Mujeres and Cozumel Island.

The city of Cancun was the result of a study by Banco de Mexico (Bank of Mexico) to determine new opportunities of generating more profit and foreign exchange by developing tourism in the region. The development of new infrastructure started in January 1970, the island of Mujeres had only three residents the caretakers of a coconut plantation and 117 other people living nearby in Puerto Juarez, military base and fishing village.

Today there are about 150 hotels with 24,000 rooms and some 380 restaurants to serve this vibrant and high energy modern vacation destination. It is estimated that 4 million visitors arrive each year to Cancun at an average of 190 flights daily.
