Chetumal's economy has been influenced by its proximity to the Mexico-Belize border. A goods and services tax-free zone (Corozal Free Zone) established on the Belizean side attracts many visitors to Chetumal, and also provides a ready market for Chetumal's retailers and traders. Chetumal itself was also once a Free Zone, and a notable destination for people from other parts of Mexico seeking to purchase high-value and bulk goods, free of government duty charges (a policy which was deliberately implemented to attract this business). The city retains a significant retail trade for the region, which supports many local businesses.
