Tulum Faces Unprecedented Tourism Decline Amidst Empty Streets and Business Closures

Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico, is currently experiencing an unprecedented downturn in its tourism sector as of October 6, 2025. Local reports indicate that the popular destination, once known for its vibrant international appeal, has transformed into a "ghost town," with significantly reduced foot traffic and a noticeable absence of visitors. The situation has been exacerbated by recent heavy rainfall, which has further deterred potential tourists and impacted local activity. According to local observer Jonatan Del Valle, "Tulum Quintana Roo México se encuentra sin turismo actualmente en octubre 2025 ni hay nada y con las lluvias peor, todo el pueblo esta fantasma sin gente más que lo local." This severe decline in visitor numbers is leading to the closure of numerous businesses, posing a significant challenge to the local economy. Residents are reportedly staying indoors, venturing out only for work, contributing to the deserted atmosphere. The current state represents a stark contrast to Tulum's past image as an exclusive hotspot, raising concerns among business owners and local authorities about the future of the region's vital tourism industry.
