Cartel violence is significantly impacting the Mexican Riviera, a popular tourist destination. The region, particularly the Riviera Maya, has seen a rise in extortion, murder, and other violent crimes perpetrated by drug cartels. Major criminal organizations such as the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) are primarily responsible for these activities, although local gangs also participate.
The cartels' operations include extortion schemes targeting a wide range of businesses, from local street vendors to high-end hotels and restaurants. Extortion prices vary, with individual vendors paying around $10 a day and larger businesses facing demands of up to $4,900. These activities have not only increased despite the pandemic but have also become more pervasive, affecting almost every sector of the local economy.
The violence and extortion have led to a heightened sense of insecurity among both residents and tourists. In high-profile incidents, such as the discovery of four city employees shot dead in Playa del Carmen, the extent of cartel influence and brutality is starkly evident. The Mexican government has responded by deploying additional troops to the region, but the challenge remains significant as many extortion cases go unreported due to fear of reprisals and distrust of authorities.
