There are many reasons why Cancun is such a popular destination for vacationers from the U.S. – with the city having so much to offer visitors. It is also very easy to fly to the city from the U.S. – with many American cities offering direct flights to Cancun, some under just a few hours.

In its traffic light system, which helps assess health risks across different states, all of Mexico is green for the first time since Omicron started receding.
Within the Mexican classification, a green status symbolizes the optimal health scenario, when cases and thus hospitalizations and death rates are low, and social curbs can be eased. With the whole country classed as ‘green’, Mexico reinforces its position as a restriction-free haven welcoming all categories of travelers, including unvaccinated Americans.
The Dominican Republic has announced that all Covid-19 restrictions are to be removed as of February 16, 2022.

Cancun is finishing the year on a high after being announced as the second second most popular destination in the world for 2021.
The ranking stems from a statistical report compiled by Forward Keys, who track airline and tourism trends in real time.
The top 20 is an insightful look into what has been a turbulent year for the tourism industry. Although drastically more successful than 2020, when the sector virtually shut down for a year, the absence of some typically high ranking countries and the rise of others could be a glimpse of years to come. It remains to be seen if many of the destinations, including Cancun, can capitalize on the growth shown this year.
