The Cancun Tourist Study has been accomplished since 1992, and since 1996 for Riviera Maya. The surveys are made in the gates of the International Airport of Cancun, when the tourist has completed their stay in the destination and has fresh memories that allow him/her to respond a survey in the best way possible, before their flight back home.

 The OVC, The Resort Association of Cancun, Riviera Maya Destination Marketing Office, and Office of The Secretary of Tourism of Quintana Roo are sources of information used for the Tourist Study, as well as several local and national media.
