Cozumel sees Benefit of Increased Cruise Activity in Later Part of Summer

Wednesday, March 17

In the final months of the summer,  the Mexican Caribbean island saw an increase of cruise ship activity which the local  Cozumel real estate industry and several related businesses have been able to capitalize.  Cozumel’s economy is based mostly in cruise ship tourism.  While the swine flu travel advisory in the spring and summer of 2009 brought many obstacles to many Mexico real estate areas and their businesses, the number of tourist visitors in Cozumel have been increasing steadily since that time. 

 In July 2009, after several weeks of cancellations of cruise ship visits, the Cozumel port opened up their doors receiving from three upto six cruise ship visits per day.  Most of the cruises arrive to Puerta Maya pier in Cozumel.  Cruise ship lines such as the Carnival Valor normally arrive around 6:30 am, and leave near to 4 pm; the Carnival Conquest have been arriving near to 9 am, and staying on the island till the 6 pm mark.    The estimated total amount of passengers arriving have been between 7,000 and 9,000.

During this past summer, the well-known “Disney Magic” with a capacity of 2500 passengers have been arriving on a regular basis.  Although many people arrive to the Cozumel island by local ferry from the Playa del Carmen tourist base, the majority of the visitors arrive via cruises.  Significant amount of activity, and economic movement, to the shopping area near the wharf and downtown are the main zones that profit from the cruise ship agendas.

   Cozumel is actually one of the most popular Caribbean Cruise ports (THE most popular, if I'm not mistaken). It's really popular because it has beautiful beaches, historical Mayan landmarks, historical parks and beautiful scenes.
