ETS Security Overview - Cancun

Mexico is a diverse country with rich cultural, historical, and natural attractions, making it one of the top global tourist destinations. While many regions of Mexico are safe for travelers, the country faces significant security challenges, particularly in areas affected by organized crime and drug cartel activity. Violence related to cartel conflicts, as well as crime, can impact both residents and visitors. However, the risks vary greatly depending on the region. More than ever before, business travelers unaware of the risk distinctions from district to district, and neighborhood to neighborhood are either placing themselves at unprecedented risk or missing out on closing deals in places where the risk is manageable.  Click here to learn more about Mexico Risk and Security.

Cancún, located on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula in the state of Quintana Roo, is one of the country’s top tourist destinations. Known for its white-sand beaches, clear waters, and vibrant nightlife, it attracts millions of visitors each year. Despite its appeal as a vacation hotspot, there are safety concerns, primarily due to the rise of petty crime, cartel-related violence, and occasional civil unrest. With appropriate precautions, Cancún remains generally low risk for tourists, but awareness and vigilance are key to ensuring a trouble-free visit.

While Cancún is not as notorious for crime as other parts of Mexico, it has seen an increase in criminal activity, particularly in areas away from the main tourist zones. Although primarily known for tourism, organized crime groups, including cartels, operate in the area, especially in the less-policed outskirts. Rival cartels have been vying for control of drug trafficking and extortion in the region, which has sometimes resulted in violence in public areas, including popular tourist spots. Although rare in the heavily policed hotel zone, violent crime, such as armed robbery, assault, and shootings, can occur in certain areas. The government has increased security measures in response to the growing presence of cartel-related violence, particularly in nearby Playa del Carmen and Tulum, but tourists should still remain cautious.

Pickpocketing, ATM fraud, tourist scams and theft are common in Cancún, particularly in busy tourist areas, markets, and beaches. Visitors should keep an eye on their belongings, especially in crowded areas or when using public transport. Avoid leaving valuables unattended on the beach, as opportunistic theft is common.

Corruption is a concern in Cancún, particularly among some local police officers. There have been reports of officers stopping tourists for minor traffic infractions or for no reason at all, then demanding bribes. Travelers should be aware of their rights and avoid offering bribes directly. Instead, remain calm and request identification or documentation of the alleged violation.
