- Mexico’s Pacific Treasure had an outstanding participation in the annual
event of US wholesaler Mark Travel Corporation.
The Riviera
Nayarit had a very busy week of promotions at the annual Mark Travel
Corporation Summit (TMTC) that took place from October 25-29 in Cancun, where
the US wholesaler gathered its “500 Club” of travel agents for training,
company updates and an opportunity to meet with providers and tourism
destinations during the tradeshow portion.
The Mark
Travel Corporation (TMTC) is one of the top wholesalers in the United States;
it has proudly serviced millions of satisfied tourists since 1974 and manages a
number of vacation brands including Funjet Vacations, Blue Sky Tours, My
Destination Wellness, Showtime Tours and Southwest Vacations, not to mention
it’s also an important revenue source for the destination.
Before the
start of the event, the Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB)
and the Bahia de Banderas Hotel and Motel Association (AHMBB) offered workshops
for the call center personnel at the most important online travel agencies in
the country.
The first
training seminar was held along with the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Trust with the
participation of 130 travel agents from BestDay; they also offered a cocktail
party where they highlighted attractions from both destinations while
representatives of 9 regional hotels exchanged information about each
property’s updates and news.
The second
seminar was at HotelBeds, a worldwide provider of travel services, where the
Riviera Nayarit held a presentation for 20 travel agents and shared information
on the hotels that participated in the event.
Later, during
the 2017 TMTC Summit, the team contacted over 250 US-based travel agents
working with operator Funjet Vacations, an important regional business partner
that handles over 11 flights a week from Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles,
Milwaukee and St. Louis.
Last but not
least, the team held a presentation at the Price Travel offices, where they
trained 40 travel agents who expressed an interest in the Riviera Nayarit and
were looking to increase their sales, as they mentioned the destination sells
very well.
The Riviera
Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) and the Bahia de Banderas Hotel
and Motel Association (AHMBB) reiterate their commitment to working hard to
continue to attract more and better tourism to Mexico’s Pacific Treasure, with
the support of the Nayarit State Government via the Tourism Promotion Trust
(Fiprotur).
