Since the outbreak of violence in tourist areas, Quintana Roo law enforcement has moved swiftly to announce arrests in each case. In December, an additional contingent of about 1,500 members of the Mexican National Guard began patrolling the beaches as a sign of the seriousness with which the federal government has taken the threat to Mexico’s tourism industry.<\/p>\n

But many are wondering how sustainable this approach is. “For me, it’s just a fa\u00e7ade,” said Fabiola Cort\u00e9s, a lawyer and journalist who helped expose the dealings of the former governor of Quintana Roo. He is now in jail and will face corruption charges. “When high-impact events take place, they just stop anyone.”<\/p>\n

David Ortiz Mena, president of the Tulum Hotel Association, said Tulum’s rapid growth in recent years had been out of control, without thinking about the effect of organizing parties in the jungle for 5,000 people. He acknowledged that the authorities had begun to move forward, but added: “The fact that the police cannot grow together with the population is also a matter of sustainability.”<\/p>\n
