Tulum Faces Safety Concerns and Growth Challenges
Tulum, a popular Mexican destination, experiences growing pains. A recent boat accident and violence raise safety concerns. Growth brings new hotels and events, but also illegal development, straining resources.
You ain't gonna believe what happened out on the Bacalar Lagoon last Sunday. A vacationer's afternoon of sun and sea turned into a scene straight out of an adventure movie – only this time it was real. You see, a catamaran loaded up with tourists started taking on water… and then, well, it went under faster than you can say “shipwreck.”
Now, those cellphone cameras were rolling, capturing the whole ordeal. Folks floundering in their life vests, faces pinched with panic as their floating party platform disappeared beneath the waves. Picture it: the gorgeous blue water that draws us to Tulum suddenly turning into a churning, swallowing beast.
