Playa del Carmen is a safe destination: CANIRAC
The National Chamber of the Restaurant and Seasoned Food Industry (Canirac) of Playa del Carmen launched an information campaign focused on highlighting security and public safety in this international tourist destination considered the heart of the Riviera Maya.
“The city is super quiet, there is absolutely no risk; tourists can come just as they have been doing over the years, to enjoy our cuisine, theme parks, nightlife and diving.”
“The majority of our visitors are foreigners and we see that despite the alerts, tourists act normally because they see that the city is at peace, it is calm and there are just a few isolated events, not in the tourist zone”, said the president of the organization, Manuel García Maldonado.

In Playa del Carmen there are more than 1,500 restaurants of all types and economic levels; 450 of them are in the area of Fifth Avenue and its surroundings, and 200 are affiliated with the Canirac.
The campaign, he explained, aims to “let people know that Playa del Carmen is a safe city, and invite people from all over the world to visit Quintana Roo.”
The businessman insisted that the discovery of an explosive devices on ships of Impulsora Marítima de Quintana Roo and the Caribbean, known as Barcos Caribe, has not stopped the arrival of tourists, not even after travel alerts or security notices were issued by the United States, Canada or United Kingdom.
Since last weekend, 60 Federal Police agents patrol the maritime terminals of Playa del Carmen and Cozumel, with the support of the canine units, in order to strengthen safety and it is expected that the numbe of officers on duty will increase during the holiday period of Semana Santa.
The troops carry out inspections in the waiting areas and they inspect each and every boat of the two shipping companies that provide the transportation service, with the support of trained dogs.
