Is Cancun Overrated?

I took a wrestling trip to Merida Cancun area of Mexico. It’s definitely not my style of place but I’m glad I got to go. Check out a real impression of the region! I wasn’t crazy about it. Cancun was a government-planned tourism project started in the 1970s. It was literally built for tourism. • The Hotel Zone is separate from most locals’ daily life. • Quintana Roo is one of Mexico’s fastest-growing states due to tourism. • Playa del Carmen used to be a quiet fishing village before becoming a cruise + resort hub. • Tourism makes up a massive percentage of the region’s economy.
