Since the beginning of the sixties the peninsula of Yucatan has been living a constant and exceptional period of development and population growth. The first case was Cancun that from a small desert sand strip has become today a town with hundreds of luxurious hotels, resorts, shopping malls, golf clubs and so on. Afterwards, first Cozumel and then Playa del Carmen became autonomous towns and started investing in their development. Playa del Carmen, a clear example of extraordinary development, in 10 years, converted from a village of fishers to a town with almost 200,000 inhabitants and a strong presence of foreign and Mexican investors. Over the last years it was the town with the highest growth all over the world. On March 13th, 2008, the 11th Legislation approved the foundation of Tulum as ninth city of Quintana Roo, with a global surface of over 2,000 km2 including 29 districts for a total of 31,000 inhabitants. On April 1st, 2009 the transient municipal council was replaced by the newly elected government that will stay in office until April 2011. The new Plan of Development, destined to determine the parameters for the urban growth and environmental control of the area for the next 20 years, was created in concomitance with the construction of the municipality .Thanks to the political and administrative change the town could benefit from the financing of important infrastructural works. Among these there is the new international airport on the road leading from Tulum to Cobà which will be completed by the end of 2012 and will result in a further strong increase in the touristic flow to this region. The decision of a new airport became essential as the increasing number of visitors arriving at the airport of Cancun reached a saturation point. Besides the local transit, most tourists are from the USA, Canada, Argentina and Europe. The touristic flow here, like in the whole coast, is increasing on the average of 15% every year. Early in 2009 the road widening to 4 lanes of Carretera Federal n.307 from Cancun to Tulum has been completed and in the near future the creation of a fast train service to connect the two towns is forecasted. The town of Tulum is looking to create new urban infrastructures, such as roads, bridges, power plants, sewers, drinking water. Applications for residence, services and tourist-accommodating facilities are increasing and the Plan of Municipal Development forecasts to reach within 5 years 100,000 inhabitants from the current 10,000, for Tulum only.

HOW AND WHY TO INVEST IN MEXICO
Mexico is considered to be a country safe from the crisis of the American loans, as investments are made with self financing, and not with bank financing. Moreover, it is not exposed to any particular risks of political instability. The real estate development has started for few years and the opportunities of revaluation are high whereas taxes and maintenance costs are low. The touristic-accommodating activities have a yearly average occupational rate of 75% that makes those investments that generates yearly income from the touristic and commercial rent particularly interesting. In case of a sale taxes on the capital gain are on the average of 28%.
It is not necessary to go to Mexico to purchase a property. Through the Mexican consulates in the different countries it is possible to entrust a reliable person in Mexico with a power of attorney for the performance of the necessary operations for the purchase of a land.
Under the Mexican law, along the border and coast areas, the so-called “Zona Restringida” (restricted zone) non-resident foreigners are not allow to buy directly lands or properties. The purchase should be made by a company or a “Fideicomiso” (trust). The company can be newly established or, in alternative, an already established company with open bank accounts can be bought. “Fideicomiso” is a trust agreement by which the land or the estate become a property of a Mexican bank selected by the buyer, whereas all the rights (resale, inheritance, lease, annuity, etc.) go to the foreign buyer holder of Fideicomiso. The fiduciary agreement allows foreigners to own legally land properties and real estates in the restricted zone for a determined period of time, for example 50 years, and at the expiry date the contract with the bank should be renewed. The time required to establish a company or nominate a Fideicomiso is around 60 days.
