Key facts and history
A 2013 Supreme Court ruling resolved a boundary dispute with Campeche and Yucatán, siding with Campeche.[1] Tourism drove rapid development from the late 20th century onward, notably through Cancún.[2] The northern part became increasingly touristified, while the south retained a traditional forestry economy.[2] On February 1, 2015, Quintana Roo adopted Southeastern Time (UTC−05:00) and does not observe daylight saving time.[3]
Much of the state has a tropical wet and dry climate, with a mean annual temperature of 26 °C.[4] President Porfirio Díaz issued a decree on November 24, 1902, that created the Territory of Quintana Roo.[5]
