The hotel zone in Cancun is 25 Km. long, it has over 120 hotels with a total of 32,000 rooms. This tourist resort can not operate without electricity. As mention in Module 8 electricity is a very important infrastructure as you can see in the picture electricity is everywhere in the hotel zone. It is use for lights, elevators, computers, security systems, pumps, electric doors, escalators and the list can go on. The statement that Cancun cannot operate without electricity is a fact that I experienced during the Hurricanes, Gilbert (1988) and Wilma (2005), where the resort was shut down due to the lack of energy.
