All About Cancun, A User-Driven Internet Forum, Tells Cancun's Good and Bad Points
CancunMX.com provides first-hand, independent information for vacationers from vacationers to Cancun, Mexico. Come here for beach pictures, hotel ratings, trip stories, complaints and everything else you need to know about Mexico's most popular vacation paradise. Our slogan is "Where good amigos get together to help others."
(PRWEB) October 7, 2005 -- "We offer the good and bad about Cancun," says Tim R. Sissel, owner of CancunMX.com (http://www.cancunmx.com), Cancun's most popular user-driven web community, online since 1997. The site provides independent information about Cancun from people who have been there, enjoyed it, and keep going back. The users are active in forums, frequently updated special sections, trip stories, reviews, surveys and ratings, among other features.
Tim is from Muscatine, Iowa. He used to work at the University of Iowa College of Education, and lives in Iowa City. He visits Cancun at least two to three times a year, often with his brother and mother. He's also the owner of http://www.cancunandrivieramaya.com. Running the sites is a full-time job, but Tim's constant presence on the Vacationing Here Forum (http://www.cancunmx.com/vacation/config.cgi) ensures civil behavior without suppressing the often-amusing back and forth that makes CancunMX a true community.
"I remind people that I try to answer questions about the area first," he says, "then have fun." Some of the boards' regular contributors are well-known Cancun experts, such as Laura McFarlin (whose CancunMX handle is Laura Mapchick), co-publisher of the best-selling Cancun Can-Do Map.
In addition to providing a constantly renewed flow of information, opinion and recommendations, CancunMX assists people in tight spots such as personal emergencies, severe weather situations, airport and transportation blockages by getting good information out there. The forum has helped people get out of crooked timeshare contracts, connected folks trying to locate relatives and friends in Cancun, assisted in fights against bad charter airlines, and generally served as a communications center for all aspects of Cancun vacation life.
"I'm constantly amazed, and grateful, with my many 'Regulars' who are willing to give of their time and talent to help others with questions about the Cancun area," Tim observes. "During 9/11, we really came together to support those on the board who are from the New York city area and work in New York city," Tim recalls. "One of our subscribers could see the towers. Those of us who could watch TV and could be on the computer at the same time gave out information to those who couldn't. In the days after, we gave the best advice we could to those who were wondering whether they should continue with plans to go to Cancun or not. About a third or more cancelled, but Mom, Kent and I did go."
Looking forward to the coming vacation season, CancunMX.com has gone through a redesign.
