We All Need A Holiday

(DETM July 2025 Newsletter)

Greetings!

Last month, we checked 2 destinations off our long bucket list – Wales & Poland.  .

We did a driving tour through Wales for a week, including spending time in 3 national parks, seeing a number of historic castles and enjoying the beautiful Welsh coastline.

Then we went to Poland where we spent time in both Warsaw and Krakow. I have to tell you that I fell in love with Krakow, at least as a tourist.

We did some fun tours (scooter & Segway), some historic tours (museums & palaces) as well as some more sobering tours (Auschwitz-Birkenau Nazi concentration camps).

I hope that you are checking things off your long bucket list of “things to see” also!

 

Sincerely,

 

Dave Emery

Cozumel’s crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life make for some world-class scuba diving. I’m always happy to remind agents that the El Cid La Ceiba Beach Hotel has a PADI dive shop right on property!

As a PADI certified scuba diver myself, it is great to have a PADI dive shop right at the resort.  The La Ceiba Beach property makes it very easy for your clients who are divers to have a day of great diving, right from the property!

The El Cid La Ceiba Beach is located just near the international cruise ship terminal and a 5-minute taxi ride south of San Miguel, where the ferries arrive from Playa del Carmen. El Cid has some great “Hotel & Dive Group” packages for 2025. Click HERE for more information.

Here is a quick reminder that the Mazatlan Tourist Board will be in western Canada and the U.S. Pacific Northwest the week of July 14th.

Mazatlan is a great alternative for a winter vacation because it offers competitive prices, new and exciting attractions, a vibrant cultural life and a real Mexican experience. The city now has the largest Aquarium in Latin America, the National Whale Museum with the largest collection of cetacean bones in Latin America, the longest zipline running above the sea in Mexico, the third largest Carnival in the world, and many other interesting places and attractions.

Find out what's new in Mazatlan and meet our hotel and destination representatives. Note that some of the events filled up quickly.
