Mexico: A Luxury Mecca Emerges
Just a few short years ago Mexico’s credentials as a luxury travel destination were undefined: product was limited, somewhat difficult to sell, difficult to research, and often lacked international credibility.
How things have changed! Today Mexico is at the forefront of a growing product diversification movement. New resorts, marinas, golf courses, spas, upgraded infrastructure, gourmet international dining and more have vaulted Mexico’s luxury profile.
Luxury hideaways are routinely written up in publications like The Robb Report, Condé Nast Traveler Gold List, Travel+Leisure, Forbes Traveler and Sunset Magazine.
As your clients become “collectors of experiences” ready to take on the NEXT level of everything, Mexico is busy delivering comfort, service, innovative tours, and world-class luxury-oriented products.
Mexico’s luxury product is grounded in its exceptional collection of unique, luxury resorts and hideaway destinations. If you have an image that “Mexico = sacrifice”, you need to take another look!
That’s exactly what Virtuoso has done. In 2007 the Mexico Tourism Board inked a first ever agreement to place Mexico among a select group of Virtuoso’s luxury international destinations.
While Mexico may not be perfect for every breed of luxury traveler, the days of making “tradeoffs” when vacationing in Mexico are essentially gone. AAA Five Diamond resorts, luxury boutique hotels, European-level service, and American-style conveniences are now a common part of the Mexico luxury experience.
But what really sets Mexico apart is the country’s antiquities, art, architecture, gastronomic heritage and smiling hosts. 30 centuries of cultural development and human achievement surround the luxury traveler in Mexico: over 29,000 archaeological sites, 300 years of European influence, 27 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and customer service that aims to please are engrained parts of the Mexico experience.
Today’s travelers, from luxury-seekers to golf enthusiasts to spa aficionados, want the special experiences only Mexico can provide. They want an itinerary that is tailored to their interests. At 2008 MTM you’ll meet with Mexican suppliers from a broad range of destinations ready to help.
Mexico: Lifestyle & Living
Did you realize that some 8-10 MILLION Americans and Canadians will be seriously looking at living in Mexico over the next 20 years? We’re not talking “time share” but actually moving to Mexico for retirement or part time living. Americans can securely own real estate in Mexico, take advantage of excellent and affordable health care, and live their active lifestyle dreams (with Costco nearby), creating numerous opportunities for travel industry members. Here are just a few US/Canada statistics about who will be moving to Mexico in the next decade:
Someone turns 50 every 7 seconds…Between 1996 and 2010 the number of adults over age 65 will increase by 6 million, up 16 percent… Over two-thirds of the people who have ever turned 65 in the history of the world are alive today…
