Because Cabo offers something rare right now:
The flight from the West Coast is shorter than a flight to Chicago. The currency is strong for US travelers. And the pace of life— mañana time —forces you to put your phone down. People are returning to Cabo because they are tired of complicated vacations. In Cabo, the hardest decision you make all day is whether to have the margarita with spicy mango or classic lime. This is the question everyone asks. And the answer, for the tourist corridor connecting San Jose del Cabo to Cabo San Lucas, is a resounding yes. The area has invested heavily in tourism police and safety protocols. "The Return" is happening because travelers feel secure walking the marina or driving the highway.
