We are already getting equiries from clients planning to visit Mexico for their winter holiday in the 2025/2026 season. Many are asking to support Canadian tour operators and contribute positively to the Mexican economy with their travel expenditures. While booking through Canadian tour operators supports a Canadian company, it's important to recognize that many prominent all-inclusive resort chains in that are offered in Mexico are headquartered in the United States. This means a significant portion of the revenue generated by these resorts is repatriated to their U.S. parent companies, potentially limiting the economic benefits to local Mexican communities.

Embracing Boutique Properties and Local Eateries
For a more immersive and impactful experience, consider staying at locally owned boutique properties and dining at local restaurants. These choices not only provide a deeper connection to Mexican culture but also ensure that your spending directly benefits local families and small businesses. Boutique hotels often showcase regional architecture and traditions, offering personalized service that large resorts cannot match.
