The Adena culture is seen as the precursor to the traditions of the Hopewell culture, which are sometimes thought as an elaboration, or zenith, of Adena traditions.
Cancun is one the largest cities in the Yucatan Peninsula, and one of the most visited destinations of international tourism in Mexico. Following are previous population statistics and some population projections: 2005: 526,701. 2006: 530,700. 2007: 622,832.
In Cancun you can see much of this happening with the population boom and the number of economic sectors increasing from just agriculture and fisheries to local services and construction. In a study done in 1989 the number of people employed solely in tourism amounted to 1.3 million people (Kandelaars 5).
