Tulum Airport Plans Boost Riviera Maya Real Estate

Tulum Airport Plans Boost Riviera Maya Real Estate

Newspaper reports have revealed details of the much-awaited Tulum airport plan, including the date the project will be put out to tender, said RE/MAX Investment Properties, experts in Mexico real estate investment, today.

A source at the Mexican Government’s Secretary for Communications and Transport (SCT) told Reuters news agency last week that November 9, 2009, “is the latest date” for publishing the terms of the auction, although other reports suggested a delay could still be possible.

RE/MAX Investment Properties said the news is a “boost” for the Riviera Maya real estate market.

In a separate article just days later by Mexico City’s Excelsior newspaper, details were revealed for the project from a SCT document the daily said it had seen.

According to the document, said Excelsior, current investment in Riviera Maya hotel and resort projects could lead to the creation of 2,800 direct jobs per year and the number of visitors to the Riviera Maya could reach 17.9 million tourists in 2025.

The paper went on to quote technical details for the new Riviera Maya international airport in Tulum from the government’s agency for Airports and Auxiliary Services (ASA):

- The airport will be on Riviera Maya real estate in the the municipality of Solidaridad, to the east of Xel-Ha, between Tulum and Playa del Carmen, on the road that goes to Cobá.

- It will be 40 miles (65 km) from Cozumel airport and 63 miles (102 km) from Cancún airport at map coordinates s 20° 20’ 30” (N) and 87° 30’ 30” (W), 10 miles (15.8 km) from the coast at Punta Cadenas, to the south of Tankah. The coordinates show that trees have already been cut back in the area when viewed on satellite imagery from Google Maps.

- The main runway will have orientation to 120°-300° as in Cancun and Cozumel and in accordance with prevailing winds.

- The main runway will be 2.2 miles (3.5km) long by 50 yards (45m) wide, corresponding with international aviation recommendations.

- The total area of the Tulum land for the airport is estimated at 2,644 acres (1,070 hectares).

- The Riviera Maya land where the airport will be built is 20m above sea level.

New estimates suggest the first phase will cost around 0-200 million to construct and the new airport could have a capacity for around 3 million passengers per year.

RE/MAX Investment Properties said local politicians have described the project as an “economic trigger” that will turn Tulum into one of the most prosperous areas in the Mexican Caribbean.

Tulum became an independent municipality last year and new infrastructure projects such as the airport and major highways improvements have been confirmed, causing land prices to rise rapidly.

The airport news leads to some of the best investment opportunities to be found in Mexico, land here is a great buy right now. Don’t miss out on your own piece of Riviera Maya real estate.

Gatwick Airport Taxi

Gatwick Airport Taxi

As for non-native-english speaking person, I think I do pretty good job useing transfer from Heathrow to Gatwick. I never thought I could write anything but rubbish and I assume I was right. The oposite excellent customer skills we have been waiting at arrivals. No one had a time to finish his coffe. Better than that could do only a new featured Iron Man. Whenever he shows off flying from United States, we sh*t ourselves. The story wasn’t simple.

When traveling to UK use London Gatwick Airport Taxi Services – the easiest way of getting from airport to the city centre.

It was about an old lady who wanted to book a cab from Gatwick to London Centre and she couldn’t find any way of doing that. We came with help and offered her nice hot cup of tea, relax and hassle free environment. When she finished her dring we continued our journey. She was so pleased at the end she left her cheap mini-cab statue in the car.

In 2005 when we were younger she asked me if I was about to take off but I felt more like landing and couldn’t confirm her allusions.

To get ther you will need a postcode which is not easy to find. It is located near Redhill in Essex, RH6 0NP which is only 25 miles from London city. Every animal likes to travel and stay in the 5 star hotels. We are no different.

We will return flight for money as this is only way you can make your quote looks good. This year’s preparation for landing will begin very soon. If you have 50 dollars or more and would like to be part of this year’s transfers, application form arenow available. Most of the preparation will take place as partnership between Gatwick and Heathrow airports. We will meet as a group between 9 and 5pm and will be celebrating 50 years in business. No pre-booking will be required just come along.

London, the UK’s buzzing capital of culture, fashion and commerce is one of Europe’s most popular city break destinations and it’s easy to see why. You may think you know the ins and outs of London but car hire will change your mind. Hiring a car in London not only allows you to escape crowded Tube stations and packed double-deckers, it also gives you the option of exploring a number of other lively and historic cities on day-trip excursions. Whether you choose to discover the charms of Shakespeare’s Stratford Upon Avon or Jane Austen’s Bath, you’ll find car hire allows you to enjoy London and its beautiful surrounding cities at a pace that suits you. The following is a guide to the best sights of London and beyond.

London City Airport Mini Guide:

London City Airport is situated 16km from the city’s West End district. The airport is an important base for a number of international airlines including British Airways, Air France, VLM Airlines and budget carrier CityJet.

Things To See/Do in London:

With so many of its attractions famous the world-over it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly what you want to see and do first in London, especially if you haven’t got much time. Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Big Ben, Westminster Cathedral and Big Ben are all guaranteed to top the list of camera toting tourists. Meanwhile, excellent museums like The Tate and British Museum vie for your undivided attention too. A hire car allows you to explore every option open to you- glitzy West End Musicals, ancient World Heritage sites, country manors and trendy shopping streets-the choice is yours!

Eating Out in London:

London is a truly multicultural city, where it’s possible to sample food from just about anywhere in the world. Whether you’re craving spicy fare from the far flung reaches of Southeast Asia, authentic Italian pizza and pasta, elegant French cuisine or good old-fashioned pub grub, you’ll always find something to silence hunger pangs in London. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, it’s worth sampling local London specialities such as pie and mash, jellied eels and meat pies. Meanwhile, the full English breakfast (Fried bacon, sausages, fried bread, fried egg, baked beans, black pudding and fried tomato) is the perfect fuel for a day of sightseeing around London.

Day Trips/Events in London:

London is an excellent base from which to explore some of England’s most scenic locations. Worthy day trips include the Georgian city of Bath, the setting for countless period dramas. Brighton, the cheeky Victorian seaside town is another easy excursion, while the world-famous university cities of Oxford and Cambridge are also within a short driving distance from London city centre.

The locals of London love to have a good time. Fortunately, with an events calendar teeming with sporting events and colourful festivals they have an events calendar that provides plenty of excuses. Calendar highlights include June/July’s Wimbledon Championships, March’s London/Cambridge Boat Race, May’s Chelsea Flower Show, August’s Notting Hill Carnival and September’s Thames Festival.
