Authorities in Playa del Carmen Are Tightening Up on Vendors

The intention is to ensure that you have a stress-free trip. According to the Cancun Sun, officials in Playa del Carmen, which is close to Cancun on the Mexican Riviera, are cracking down on street sellers as a result of complaints from tourists regarding unscrupulous sales practices.Street and beach sellers are protected by federal law in Mexico, however they are not allowed to stop guests from strolling down the beach without being bothered. Because you can negotiate in places where you couldn't in a traditional brick-and-mortar store and because the costs are lower, some merchants have set up illegally near hotels and beaches.The merchants can be intrusive at times, which is one of the reasons authorities are taking harsh measures.

The fact that the vendors are seen as unofficial enterprises is another factor. Initially, officials planned to permit the vendors and enterprises so they could support their families financially, but they were unable to come to an agreement. Officials, fed up with their situation, are closing down the unregistered companies.

On the Mexican Riviera, Playa del Carmen has grown to be one of the most visited places, and the government wants to keep it that way. Part of the process is ensuring that visitors have a good time, whether at the beach or in the neighborhood shops.
