"Thirty-five years ago there was little trade on Kan Kun island, in the remotest corner of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. It was a series of pristine
white sandbars in a calm blue sea. Only three fishermen lived there, and only for part of the year. But in the early 1970s it was discovered by
international bankers, who thought they had found financial paradise, and the world's first purpose-built giant holiday resort was born. The ancient
Mayan name Kan Kun - "nest of vipers" - was softened to tourist-friendly Cancun."
