Tourism is a significant contributor to the Mexican economy. Locations in and around Mexico City are a major draw; the capital’s historic center and the ruins of the Aztec city of Teotihuacán were designated UNESCO World Heritage sites in 1987. Well-known beach resorts, such as Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta, have been surpassed in popularity by Cancún, Cozumel, and Cabo San Lucas, thanks to the development of resorts and regional airports. Mexico’s ancient Maya sites, including Chichén Itzá and Uxmal in Yucatán and Tulum in the Riviera Maya, draw many visitors.
