Cancun falls 10% in air seats while the Dominican Republic gains 15%

In Cancun´s airport, in the first quarter of the year there were 10 percent less plane seats arriving at the terminal, while destinations such as the Dominican Republic and Jamaica have grown 15 percent. Clearly, what stopped arriving in the Mexican Caribbean goes to those destinations,” said Gonzalo del Peón, president of AMResorts.

This decline, he expalins, hit the company’s hotels in that region with a drop in revenue of 10 percent on average in the first quarter of the year, as well as a reduction in occupancy of between three and four percentage points. As a result, rates have also fallen 10 percent, to try to fill more rooms and guarantee the income of investors who participated in the development of the establishment.
