Tulum Airport Gets Big Boost: 100% Incentives for Three Years

Expats and digital nomads living in Tulum might be excited to hear that the Tulum airport is set to offer 100 percent airline incentives for three years. This news comes from the federal Tourism Secretary, Josefina Rodríguez Zamora, who spoke at a meeting with reporters ahead of the Cancún Travel Mart 2026.

The incentives are meant to revitalize Tulum's route map and ensure year-round air connectivity. While the specifics of what the incentives cover and which airlines will benefit are yet to be announced, this is a significant move for the airport and local businesses that rely on air traffic.

It's worth noting that the incentives won't take effect immediately. Grupo Mundo Maya, the company that operates the airport, still needs to publish the terms and details. Additionally, international airlines might not resume frequencies until the second half of 2027, according to officials.

For those of you considering the Tulum area for your next move, this could be a positive development. With the airport's improved connectivity, it might become even easier to get to and from Tulum, making it a more attractive place to live or work remotely.
