cancun_header.jpgCancun Is Back!!  The city of Cancun will host what promises to be the world's largest beach party on August 11-13, 2006.  Cancun plans to officially reopen its doors with a three-day long festival spanning over eight miles of beach.  The activities will include a sand sculpture contest, a kite festival, art exhibits, a sailing regatta, a food festival, aquatic demonstrations and beach parties throughout the entire Hotel Zone.  A fireworks show will be held on Saturday night with fireworks being launched over Cancun's waters at every kilometer marker for 13 kilometers.  The destination has just completed its greatest island-wide revitalization efforts to date, including a US$20.33 million beach recovery project that fully restored eight miles of beach.  Thanks to the project, which was completed ahead of schedule in April 2006, all of Cancun's 15.5 miles of coastline are now accessible and available for use.  In addition to beach re-openings, 83 percent of Cancun's 27,822 hotel rooms have been fully restored and are operating as usual.
