Our company turns 18 today! Celebrate with us!

An adult and such a diverse life!
Today, we reflect on what truly matters: the people who have been and still are part of our grown-up "child." Many started their journey with us, some have taken different paths, but each one has been a part of our story!

We are grateful to everyone—those who were, those who are. Every person is a part of our success, our legacy, and our journey.

We are a family. A true family that was created 18 years ago, and the people who have been with us since day one are still with us today. Because they are the best, because we share the same values, and because those who walked our past with us can see the future we are building together.

To 120 years!

Infinitely grateful to Grand Velas Riviera Maya and SLS Playa Mujeres for supporting humanitarian projects related to Ukrainian veterans.
When we hear the word "veteran," we imagine mature professional soldiers, not 23-year-old kids.
Our 23-year-old veteran, Serhii, lost a foot in the war and was brought to Mexico to receive a prosthetic.
Grand Velas Riviera Maya, SLS Playa Mujeres, and our company organized a few days in paradise for him.
It’s a significant act to do these small things that help people whose lives have been changed by an aggressor, someone who seeks to destroy their family and their country every single day. We must not forget these people, and we deeply value the support from these hotels.
This is how we are wrapping up the year, and it’s the best thing we can do for our karma.
Let’s hope for a year of peace and balance.
It’s very difficult to imagine in the current situation and with the world leaders we have, but we always want to believe in the best.

Mexican Posada tradition is basically a festive excuse to party with coworkers.
The Posada dates back to colonial times when it was all about reenacting Mary and Joseph’s search for shelter before Jesus was born. Nowadays, it’s less about religious rituals and more about piñatas, tacos, and a ton of tequila.

Why do companies love throwing Posadas for their staff?
Simple: it’s the best way to show appreciation for a year of hard work and boost morale.

Our company always combines business with pleasure: we select new hotels that are happy to host us, pamper us, and are essential for shaping our product. This time, it was the Waldorf Astoria Cancun.
The Waldorf Astoria chain began in 1893 with the iconic Waldorf Hotel in New York. Known for luxury and innovation, it merged with the Astoria Hotel in 1897, creating a legendary brand that now spans prestigious destinations worldwide.

The Waldorf Astoria Cancun opened in November 2022, bringing its signature luxury to Mexico's Riviera Maya. Its highlights include elegant beachfront accommodations, a world-class spa, fine dining restaurants, exclusive event spaces, and a stunning infinity pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
We saw all of this and loved it.
By the way, it was delicious!
Thank you Waldorf Astoria Cancun for your hospitality!

Dear colleagues from all over the world,

In these Christmas days, when the whole world is caught up in the fever of buying New Year's gifts, taking children to Christmas markets in their cities, decorating Christmas trees, and planning vacations, we ask only one thing: do not forget that very nearby, in the heart of Europe, people just like you are under daily attack by russia's deadly weapons.

Without any real or truthful reason, their families, their children, and their elderly are enduring constant bombings and are dying in the CENTER OF EUROPE today and every single day for nearly three years now.

We appeal to you for solidarity with colleagues and their families from a large, beautiful, European, and civilized country—Ukraine.

We ask you not to forget that this contradicts all the principles of the civilized world and that we are all increasingly unprotected by any international organization. These organizations simply do not exist more.
The proof of this is today's bombing of Kyiv—the capital of a European country.

Take care of yourselves and the world, help those in need. Do not get used to terror and do not forget the victims.

Happy New Year!

P.D. We would like to remind you that we are a 100% Mexican DMC.
None of us are from Ukraine. But we cannot remain indifferent to what has been happening for three years now.

The French Riviera is always a good idea, especially during the velvet season at the beginning of December.
Just like now, and as it has been for almost 15 years.
International Luxury Travel Market (ILTM) is more than just a travel exhibition.
It's the scent of the sea, the cry of seagulls, new gastronomic experiences each time, and, of course, the inspiration and love shared by all the colleagues around you who, like you, are captivated by France and its wonders.

We are surrounded by true backdrops of visual beauty that turn our work into the most desirable of all. As everyone walks down by Bd. de la Croisette, squinting at the gentle sun reflecting off the sea, they whisper to themselves: "How much I love my job..."

Allow me to express my opinion – this is the only exhibition among dozens that creates a true sense of happiness: from the joy of being in one of the most beautiful places in the world, from engaging conversations, and, undoubtedly, from the results. Sometimes it feels like the boundaries of the world expand for ILTM: more and more buyers from stunning, faraway countries are joining in.

Thank you ILTM CANNES.
Thank you Chable Yucatán & Chablé Maroma for amazing support.
It was, as always, wonderful.
Thank you to all my dear old and new colleagues and friends.
We truly have a wonderful job.

Our favorite exhibition ILTM Cannes is just around the corner!!! Come, let’s hug!

Octavio Paz, in The Labyrinth of Solitude, explores the complex relationship Mexicans have with death.
He argues that, unlike other cultures that tend to shy away from or fear death, Mexicans confront it directly, even with a certain intimacy.
Paz writes that Mexicans "contemplate it, caress it, sleep with it, celebrate it; it is one of their favorite toys and most steadfast loves."

For Mexicans, death is not an end but a part of life, a presence that is acknowledged and accepted. This attitude can be seen in traditions such as Día de los Mu***os, where families gather to honor their deceased loved ones, creating altars and celebrating their lives.
Through this lens, Paz suggests that Mexicans embrace death as an integral part of their identity, symbolizing both a defiance of fear and a profound understanding of life’s ephemeral nature.

Like the rest of our country, every year we create an altar in our office, honoring the innocent departed with food, music, and smiles.
We remember them—we will never forget.
The air fills with the mystique of Día de los Mu***os, as the veil between worlds thins and the spirits of loved ones draw near, savoring the offerings and joining us in celebration. Their memories linger, woven into the fabric of our lives, reminding us of the beauty in remembrance and the eternal bond between the living and the dead.

A heartfelt thank you to the organizers of the TFest exhibition and to colleagues from all over the world—Europe, Asia, the Middle East, the Americas, and Australia—for their warmth, trust, and professionalism.
Tfest showcased a unique concept where networking happens on a different, more informal level.
It’s an experience that goes beyond the traditional business setting, creating an environment where connections transform naturally into friendships.
The event subtly and seamlessly brought together people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, creating an atmosphere that allowed us to build real, lasting bonds.

Over these three days, we shared meaningful exchanges, learned from each other, and discovered common ground in ways that felt both effortless and genuine.
Tfest was not just a place for professional networking, but a space where we could foster genuine connections with colleagues from around the world, gaining both new insights and new friends. It was a true privilege to work, connect, and grow alongside such inspiring professionals.

Thank you, Tfest, for the unforgettable experience and the spirit of camaraderie that you fostered among all of us. These three days were a celebration of work and friendship that I’ll remember for a long time.

This is one of those incredible cases where a work trip turned into a journey of like-minded souls.
People with shared values, who know how to appreciate the world around them, show compassion, learn new things, share joy, and wish well to others.
People who embody common values. And the universal rule that the world and light are drawn to such people worked unbelievably well here.

Our group of tour operators was accompanied by perfect weather: the sun would shine when they were at the beach, and rain would fall when the god of rain Chaak saw that they were too hot.
Wild animals approached them, sensing that these weren’t just ordinary people, but people of light... monkeys, pythons, iguanas, hummingbirds, coatis... We had never seen wild animals approach humans like this before.
The pyramids smiled at them, and tequila flowed like a river. Ukraine, India, Lithuania, Latvia, England, Emirates – all the positive energy from representatives of the tourism industry of these countries came together in a river of bliss, communication, and mutual support.
Amazing people.
Truly beautiful, both inside and out.
May God bless you and your families.

Thank you all.

A special thank you to our fantastic hotels, who always support us.
NIZUC Resort & Spa Kempinski Hotel Cancún Mexico Grand Velas Riviera Maya Casa Malca Palmaïa - The House of AïA Chable Yucatán Fairmont Mayakoba, Riviera Maya for amazing stay and Hacienda Xcanatun , Chablé Maroma , Banyan Tree Mayakoba Hotel Xcaret Arte for warm reception and delicious food.

The Day of Independence holds profound importance for Mexicans, both personally and culturally. Celebrated on September 16, it marks the beginning of the fight for freedom from Spanish colonial rule. This day is not just a historical event; it embodies the spirit of resilience and pride that unites us as a nation.

For many, including those of us promoting Mexico's rich heritage, this celebration is an opportunity to showcase our country's vibrant culture. The festivities—filled with parades, fireworks, traditional music, and delicious cuisine—reflect the love and passion Mexicans have for their homeland. Each event serves as a reminder of our shared history and collective achievements.

On a personal level, the Day of Independence resonates deeply. It encourages us to celebrate our identity and to honor the sacrifices made by those who fought for our freedom. As we promote Mexico to the world, we highlight not only our cultural richness but also our commitment to unity and progress.

This day has become the biggest party of the year, where families and friends come together, reinforcing bonds and creating lasting memories. Ultimately, the Day of Independence is a celebration of love for Mexico, reminding us of our roots and inspiring us to build a brighter future.
