Cozumel Real Estate ? Travel Made Easier With New Flights
New flight options coming available will give Cozumel Real Estate buyers increased convenience for visiting nearby cities and sites of interest. While Cozumel MLS properties have the benefit of being within close access to the islands many beautiful attractions, such as the Mezoamerican Reef for diving, excellent snorkeling locations and Mayan ruins, no name only a few, they
also have the benefit of being close to many of Mexico’s top visitor destinations, making for excellent weekend outings.
The typical choice for travel to and from the mainland is a ferry to Playa del Carmen, which is 45 minutes away; from there Cancun and Tulum are less than an hour away, as well as the many beautiful sites of the Yucatan peninsula. These include the world-famous Mayan pyramids at Chichen Itza (now one of new Seven Wonders of the World), the beautiful colonial cities of Merida and Campeche, a remote, natural flamingo habitat, where, after arriving by boat, you can see the birds in their natural setting.
But all access to this is becoming easier. Besides the Playa del Carmen ferry, there are also well-priced and convenient flight options for MLS property shoppers to consider when making their choice to make Cozumel their new home. One flight operator, MAYAir, currently offers flights to Cancun and Merida for very accessible prices. The operator is also planning to offer flights directly to Chichen Itza for the summer of 2010, for quick, direct access for visiting these amazing pyramids, and for the special events which take place there, such as the Elton John concert in March 2010.
The principal purpose of these flights is quick access for cruise visitors who extend their stay in Cozumel. The recent decision of the Pullmantur cruise company to make Cozumel a Home Port means that cruise travelers will not just be stopping over in Cozumel, but will be arriving to await their cruises here, and many will stay up to a week afterwards. In addition to the new real estate opportunities that increased tourist stays will create, there will also be new conveniences, such as these new flight options from Cozumel.
International travel to and from home is already highly convenient for American and Canadian property owners here, since the island has its own international airport. Flight options are also expanded with the nearby Cancun International Airport.
MAYAir is relatively new, having started operations in early March, reaching 20% of its passenger capacity after 20 days from 20% and 50% for Easter, showing potential to become an excellent regular provider of transportation to local areas for Cozumel Real Estate owners. The flights already show a tendency for foreign property owners on the island traveling to Merida for vacation and for business.
