Tulum, Q.R. — The town of Tulum held its first ever Tulum & Riviera Maya Real Estate Fair over the weekend. The two day exhibition ran February 13 and 14 in the town center next to city hall, attracting dozens of prospective buyers.
The Tulum & Riviera Maya Real Estate Fair 2026 was hosted by the AMPI (Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals) branch of Tulum.
Participants included local real estate developers, banks, legal firms and real estate companies. The goal was to promote real estate throughout the area to those looking to buy, sell or invest.
Several government agencies, including Infonavit and the Ministry of Sustainable Urban Territorial Development (Sedetus), in addition to Tulum’s Urban Development and Cadastre, were also on site.
The public event offered free advice to interested parties to receive guidance on deed registration processes, property regularization, urban procedures and legal requirements to carry out safe transactions.
Conferences were also held for the general public and industry professionals, who are certified real estate professionals. People were able to talk with experts, compare options and make decisions based on reliable information.
The goal, organizer and Tulum AMPI President Mario Antonio San Miguel Herrera said, was to raise the standards of real estate activity and reduce unethical practices.
The fair was also meant to counter some of the bad press Tulum has had over the past 18 months with the closure of numerous illegal projects. In September of 2025, the Secretariat of Sustainable Urban Territorial Development (Sedetus) reported on the closure of 26 real estate developers that were actively selling without permits.
Sedetus (Secretaría de Desarrollo Territorial Urbano Sustentable) reported that all 26 companies were selling properties while in violation of state laws, which promoted a public alert.
