Several airlines are adding new flights to Cancun, as the Mexican resort city has shown resiliency to the coronavirus pandemic and is drawing a plethora of tourists.
The hotspot is approaching three million visitors since reopening back in June, certainly enough to entice airlines who service Cancun to add flights during the winter months ahead.
"The entire local tourism industry has worked to build confidence in travelers, which allows us to continue in the process of recovering the arrival of flights," Director General of the Tourism Promotion Council of Quintana Roo, Darío Flota Ocampo, said according to Travel Off Path.
