The Yucatan peninsula has been transformed by government-sponsored tourism, which has transformed Mexico’s transportation infrastructure, including a $30 billion, thousand-mile high-speed rail line and a new airport outside Tulum, 80 miles south. The Supercarretera tollway was built in part to transport tourists to the Chichen Itza Mayan ruins in less than two-and-a-half hours, reducing travel time from Cancun to the ruins to two hours, costing about $70 U.S. round-trip at current exchange rates. The rail line is also a key feature of the transformation of Mexico's tourism industry. However, environmental resistance was high as local government cut down on environmental resistance. Despite this, indigenous people have benefited from the projects, largely from construction and service sectors.
