About Cancun

Cancun (pronounced as [kan'kun]) is a coastal city in Mexico's easternmost state, Quintana Roo, on the Yucatan Peninsula best known as the Mexican Caribbean or at the northern section as the Mayan Riviera. In 1970 the Mexican Government had chosen this place for an ambitious and totally planned tourist development which has become one of the most successful in the history of tourism in Mexico.

Cancun has everything: crystal clear water, white sand beach, some of the finest hotels in the world, superb restaurants, modern convention facilities, and vibrant nightlife.

Cancun is also a gateway to the wonders of the Mexican Caribbean and the Maya world, as well as the vast nature reserves of the state of Quintana Roo. Cancun is one of the world's best-known vacation spots. Its sophisticated infrastructure and world-class tourism services have made it the Caribbean's premier vacation destination.

This splendorous place is the venue for the 19th Wonca World Conference of Family Doctors.
