Palma de Mallorca, 5th May 2017 – Hotelbeds Group, the number one bedbank worldwide and business-to-business provider of services to the travel industry, has announced today that Mexico is the fifth most popular destination worldwide for its Hotelbeds brand – which supplies the world´s tour operators and online travel agencies (OTAs) with accommodation and ancillary products.
The most popular destination within Mexico for Hotelbeds clients is the Riviera Maya, which has been chosen as the host destination for the 8th edition of MarketHub Americas by Hotelbeds event. Additional destinations popular with clients using the Hotelbeds bedbank platform include Cancún, Puerto Vallarta and Mexico City.
Sam Turner, Sales Director at Hotelbeds Group, commented from the event: “It is great to be here in person at our 2017 MarketHub Americas by Hotelbeds event at the 5* Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya. Already I can see why this is the top destination choice for clients of Hotelbeds booking Mexico – itself the fifth most popular country globally for our clients.
“Mexico was one of our earliest oversees ventures and we´re proud of its success: as a destination it is clearly one of our top priorities, but also as a source market it is of ever growing importance to us – not least for the high level of domestic travel within Mexico, a growing area currently with the fall in the value of the peso.
“We have worked hard to ensure the best hotels and ancillary offerings available at the best prices across the whole of Mexico – and continually adapt that offering to meet the ever evolving needs, desires and budgets of travelers. Equally, as we have grown our sales operations – including within Mexico itself – around the world we have tapped into new and shifting demands for the Mexican market globally, ensuring growth and stability in bookings for the destination.
“Over the coming years Mexico will remain at the core of our strategy as we continue to invest in both developing our offering as a destination and boosting our source market presence.“
The MarketHub Americas by Hotelbeds event this year took place from Monday 24th to Thursday 27th April at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya in Mexico.
