You are mostly correct, however the US does play a large part in the current violence in the Cancun area. In short, when El Chapo was arrested and extradited to the US, it set off a power struggle among the Mexican drug gangs. El Chapo used to rule the state of Quintana Roo (where Cancun is) with an iron fist. There was to be no violence against or around tourists, because if Cancun was safe, his customers would come to him. Since his extradition however, there is now a power vacuum, and other gangs are trying to take over. Since they are not as smart as El Chapo, they are ramping up the violence which is causing reports such as this to surface. It is not that different to what happened to Acupulco. Mexico has invested a lot in turning the Riviera Maya into a world class destination ... how (and if) they regain control will determine if Cancun will survive.
Who wants to go to Mexico - especially with their kids?? Thinking of going to Belize to do some fishing...
“May have to watch it.”
Definitely worth a watch. You’ll enjoy it.
I put it on my IMBd watch list. I read all the Mitch Rapp books.
