Resources Used When it comes to vacations and taking tours different resources have to be utilized to make the activity and the visit successful. The following are some of the most important equipments that should be factored by any individual. ● Transportation The main mode of transport in this situation is use of cabs and the taxis. There are several tourist travel companies that offer such services. Some of them are conjoins of the restaurants offering hospitality. Additionally some hotels offer transports like bike so as to capacitate getting around at full comfort. If the travel is not settled on one destination in Tulum the taxis are fully operational on a full time basis. The mode of payment for these taxis is by cash therefore the tourist must be settled on Mexican Pesos or the US Dollars. But in most cases the Pesos are most preferred and also offer friendly deals to the tourists. The Tulums main roads are fairly walk able and they run on the beaches. Besides there also colectivos and local shuttles who are their prices are cheaper(S, 2015). When travelling to Mexico there are flights which offer transportation from the United States to Mexico. Additionally, when resuming back there are several Airline transportation services in Tulum. Besides, there are also buses or the trains that offer transport to Mexico. The 9 10 TULUM MEXICO flights are much efficient because they fast and thus the traveler dose not suffer the consequences of getting too tired and thus needing some additional days to relax rather than having fan(Marcos, 2016). ● Funds/ Money In order to facilitate carrying out the necessary transactions money is the transacting commodity. In Tulum most of the transactions either in the restaurants or the transport systems prefer using cash money. In United States most of the transactions are carried out using the transaction cards like the Master Cards. It is important to know this in order to make the necessary transitions to facilitate payments. Cash can either be in the US Dollars or can either be in Mexican Pesos. However, it is highly preferable that the transactions are paid off using the pesos because they are cost friendly and most reliable to both the Tulum citizens and the tourist(Humphreys, 2015). In case the tourist has no liquid cash there are finance facilities that offer such services. The banks also have the western union services that offer the services of currency exchange. Therefore the tourist could consider exchanging his dollars in the banks so as to acquire his funds in more efficient mode. Many tourists prefer using the master cards because they are more secure especially when it comes to settling of big expenses. However, the security if the place is promising and one can carry his cash money without feeling at risk. Thankfully, the financial facilities have anchored many ATM machines where people can get their cash easily and fast. 10 11 TULUM MEXICO Annotated Bibliography Humphreys, J. M.
