Cancun inspires the Dubai feeling

Cancun, Mexico's fast growing tourist mecca, is half a world away from the development miracle of Dubai but they have a similar buzz: the buzz of commerce, construction and fun.
The Airline Business team are here in Cancun publishing a daily newspaper at the Latin American Airline Leaders Forum. Driving from the airport - an efficient gateway run by private company ASUR - there are rows of hotels facing the Caribbean Sea, and many more being built.
Construction is happening everywhere, night and day, just like Dubai and neighbours Abu Dhabi and Doha. Cancun epitomises the economic vibrancy of Mexico, and as such is the ideal venue for the Latin American Airline Association's annual meeting.
From tomorrow - 30 November - the ALTA Airline Business dailies will be available to read on the Flight Global website.
