This summer, especially the local people claimed to have deprived them of affordable houses, the increase in holiday rental apartments in the Mexican capital of anti-gentrification demonstrations were performed.
While walking in the most wealthy neighborhoods of Mexico, some of them targeted expensive coffee shops and the fact that they claimed to appeal to tourists, that they broke their windows and spray the slogans of xenophobia to their walls. Last year, Mexico welcomed 45 million international tourists out of 35 million international tourists ten years ago. In 2016, more than half a million (521,000) British travel to Mexico every year, making it one of the important tourism markets such as the United States, France and Colombia. In particular, Cancun has become one of the most popular points built in the 1970s and witnessed a 300% increase in arrival in the last 10 years and entered about 10 million visitors last year.

Platforms such as Airbnb made it easier for property owners to rent their apartments to tourists for high odds and to effectively remove them from the long -term rental market. Residents claim that this application inflated real estate prices and reduces the presence of affordable houses.
Meanwhile, in Tulum, protesters tried to prevent access to Parque del Jaguar and complained that residents have been rejected free access to beaches and archaeological areas. They pointed to the construction of the new train Maya (Maya Train) railway, which plans to buy tourists between local beach towns.
“The situation is largely connected to the construction of the army, which led to a restriction of beaches, Carl said Carlos Rosado Van Der Gracht of Yucatán Magazine. “Given access to the beaches, people show and want to restore.”
This revealed that Oaxaca, the beautiful Mexican town of Oaxaca last month, fought against the brands of the region’s “religion” to increase the tourism numbers in the region. According to the OAXACA -based Social Sciences and Public Opinion Center, the number of foreign and national tourists has increased by 77%since 2020. This struggled with the locals with a housing crisis and an increasing cost of life and forced them to take them to the streets with banners: “Oaxaca is not a commodity.”
