Seven of Cancun’s stunning white beaches – step forward Las Perlas, Chac Mool, Delfines, Marlin, Ballenas, El Nino and Coral – recently received Blue Flag certification.
Blue Flag bestows a mark of quality on Cancun’s shores and means visitors can can expect beaches with said flag to be safe and clean, meeting the highest environmental standards, as well as the most stringent standards for international bathing water.
In terms of beaches with blue flags Cancun is the undisputed leader in Mexico. “It is the municipality with the most flags in Mexico,” confirmed Manuel Linss de la Pena, director of the Federal Maritime Ground.
Cancun’s blue flag accolade comes in the wake of the news that the city has been chosen to host World Travel Awards’ Latin America Ceremony 2017 (https://www.worldtravelawards.com/event/latin-america-2017 ) on 9 September.
The Latin America leg of the travel industry’s leading awards programme – frequently dubbed the “travel Oscars” – will take place at the glitzy Hard Rock Hotel Riveria Maya.
World Travel Awards Founder and President, Graham Cooke, said: “It will be an absolute pleasure for us to return to the Riviera Maya for the first time since 2009, for our annual Latin America Gala Ceremony. And I can think of no better partner for this event than the iconic Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya.”
