Summer vacation hot spot may see more military than margaritas this summer
Tourists visiting Cancún and Mexico's Riviera Maya this summer are being greeted not just with ocean breezes and poolside cocktails, but by heavily armed patrols. In response to escalating cartel violence and crimes against travelers, the Mexican government has deployed more than 7,000 troops and security personnel to safeguard the country's most popular vacation zones. Advertisement Since 2021, Mexico has turned to deploying troops and local enforcement to patrol the beaches and tourist hot spots. Former Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Senior Special Agent Michael Brown, currently the global director of counter-narcotics technology at Rigaku Analytical Devices, told Fox News Digital that the sight of military rifles may do more to remind travelers of the danger than reassure them of their safety. 'The fluidity of Mexican organized crime, gang activity, is constantly moving from one side of the country to the next,' he said. 'Unfortunately, these high-end tourist areas represent an easy opportunity for organized crime to come, steal, assault, and rob.' Military muscle on patrol This summer, the Mexican government has launched an aggressive security campaign across popular tourist destinations in the state of Quintana Roo — home to Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Cozumel.

NurPhoto via Getty Images Dubbed 'Operation Summer Vacation 2025,' the initiative was formally announced on July 18 and involves the deployment of more than 7,000 security personnel, including members of the National Guard, Navy, Army, and state and local police. While Operation Summer Vacation 2025 is the largest coordinated seasonal deployment to date, it follows a multi-year pattern of heightened military involvement in Mexico's most lucrative tourist zones. The goal is to safeguard the expected 2 million tourists throughout the summer and early fall months with a coordinated presence of land, air, and sea patrols.

Your conduct, your ethics, and your commitment will make the difference,' Gov. Mara Lezama Espinosa of Quintana Roo said in a news conference, according to Spanish-speaking regional media outlets. Brown views the militarization as a red flag rather than a reassurance. 'You're sitting on a beach looking at soldiers. I'm worried about something happening. That really works against the concept of a vacation,' he said. 'If I'm sitting on a beach looking at the armed military, is that really going to make me relax?'

AFP via Getty Images Concerns about traveling to Mexico as an American are not overstated, as cases of rampant crime against tourists have prompted the U.S. State Department to issue warnings. The agency issued a Level 2 travel advisory to Quintana Roo, meaning travelers should 'exercise increased caution' due to elevated risks connected to property crimes, scams, and occasional violent incidents – even in tourist areas. The U.S. Embassy in Mexico encourages U.S. citizens to remain vigilant at all times, especially in the downtown zones of Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum after dusk, and to stick to well-lit, populated areas to reduce vulnerability. Travel alerts also remind visitors of incidents where cartel-related violence and rival gang disconnects, though not necessarily targeted at tourists, have injured innocent bystanders. 'If you're going to go to places which represent a certain level of danger, you have to have a plan in place to mitigate that threat, because once it happens, you're not going to see it happen,' Brown said.

Brown recommends tourists carry personal GPS trackers, ideally concealed in a handbag, bracelet, or necklace, and set designated check-in times with family members back home. He also urges travelers to only use transportation arranged by the hotel when staying at resorts and to pre-verify the driver's identification and license plate. 5 Since 2021, Mexico has turned to deploying troops and local enforcement to patrol the beaches and tourist hot spots.

For cruise-goers or those venturing into local towns, he advises leaving all jewelry, designer items, and large amounts of cash onboard to avoid being targeted. 'Have a plan,' he said. 'Your awareness has to increase significantly the moment you step off that plane.'
