The constant changes in land use that have been made in Cancún over the years and that have adhered to Urban Development Programs (PDU) have caused public access to the sea to be gradually closed due to construction. of large Hotel and residential developments.
As an example, a property that had only one house or that had no development or density becomes a building with more than 80 apartments on 15 floors or more, despite the burden generated by the lack of services such as water, electricity and drainage in the Hotel zone of this destination.
In the last 20 years, these development programs (PDU) have been rejected and challenged by a variety of environmental groups, which have managed to stop urban developments and industrial estates, such as the case of Malecón Tajamar with land sold by Fonatur itself, to projects of large Hotel chains and more recently the Grand Solaris project in Playa Delfines, whose permit was revoked by a court ruling.
Many of the projects have managed to be built and are now part of the cement corridor that has been built along Kukulcán Boulevard, while other projects have not been able to advance, as is the case of the Hotel, commercial and residential megaproject that is intended to be built. at the Pok Ta Pok golf course.
The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) definitively canceled the Cancún Peninsula project that the Hazama Corporation company planned to develop in Pok Ta Pok, a Hotel zone in Cancún; decision that hoteliers celebrate due to the saturation in public services, roads and parking, as reported REPORTUR.mx.

The environmental impact statement of said project has apparently already been submitted to Semarnat, but the Hotel Association of Cancún, Puerto Morelos and Isla Mujeres and other organizations have filed legal appeals against the PDU 2022 that granted an additional polygon to this area, which would allow over densification.
