💨 Abstract

Popular Mexican resorts like Cancún and Tulum, beloved by Brits, hide a grim reality of cartel violence. In 2024, over 25,000 people were killed in Mexico, with Quintana Roo seeing a surge in cartel battles for control. Tourists, though not usually targeted, can get caught in the crossfire. Experts warn tourists to stay alert, avoid unregistered taxis, and steer clear of drugs.
