Since the 20th century, Acapulco has been a popular resort for tourists taking long holiday
weekends cruises from the United States, the
Mexican interior and countries in South America.
Eventually, it began competing directly with the
Cancún on the East Coast as a super-tourist
destination. In the past three decades, air
fares have become increasingly affordable as
international airlines added flights and
infrastructure to support the increasing air
travel. The two beach resorts are located on
opposite coasts oriented due East and West from
the other. The city has had its star-spangled
times, leading Sammy Cahn to reference it in his
lyrics for "Come Fly With Me". Modern Acapulco
is a featured destination for many Pacific
cruise ship packages and international air
carriers. |

In recent years, within the younger crowd,
Acapulco has made up some ground on Cancún as a
popular spring break destination. This growing
popularity may be because Acapulco offers a
different unknown experience and a larger,
international student crowd than Cancún due to
its prominence as an international tourist
resort with many available international
transatlantic and transpacific flights. |
