Summary/Abstract: The article presents the development conditions of the Cancún urban space (a city in Mexico, situated in the Yucatán Peninsula, in the Quintana Roo state) and the spatial effects of tourist movement management in this settlement area. The city was planned from scratch. At the same time, it was assumed that the tourist function will dominate the shaping of the city’s space. Cancún has undergone many physical and organizational changes over the last 50 years. The changes were conditioned by the increase in the originally planned numberof tourists and residents and the growing of functional natural and anthropogenic barriers.
