New Tourist Tax in Quintana Roo, Mexico

The state of Quintana Roo in southeastern Mexico is made up of several municipalities including Cancun, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, and Isla Mujeres. The region is a popular vacation destination due to its tropical climate, crystal-clear ocean, mangrove jungle, cenotes, and Mayan archeological sites.

Here is some important information for you to consider when planning your next trip to Quintana Roo. As of April 1, 2021, tourists visiting the region who are 15 years of age and older are required to pay a new mandatory visitor tax.
