- Cruise company ​Royal Caribbean RCL.N decided to withdraw a large water park project it planned on Mexico's Caribbean coast following Mexican authorities' rejection of the project, President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Wednesday.

The rejection of the "Perfect Day" mega-tourism project followed strong public backlash against the environmental impact of the planned development on a pristine region of Mexico's coast.
