Dear Dave,
On our vacation last
month we did a biking
tour of Brussels for
our one afternoon
there. It was the
hottest day on record
for Brussels (40.6C,
105F) beating the
previous record of 39C
set the day before.
(I almost didn't make
it!)

I've always tracked
the number of
countries and UNESCO
sites I've visited,
but now I have a new
goal! I've already
visited 10 of these
15 "extremely
disappointing"
tourist attractions,
but not sure I agree
with the description
for all of
them...How many have
you been to?
Happy selling those
disappointing as
well as the exciting
destinations!

El
Cid Resorts - Mazatlan - NOT Disappointing
|
The
El Cid Resorts
in Mazatlan are
definitely not
disappointing for your
clients looking for
that perfect balance
of sun, water and fun
activities. The
4 resorts
definitely do offer
something for
everyone. If your
clients are looking
for:
 | some quiet
(Granada or Marina
Beach), |
| some activities (Castilla
Beach), |
| some great kids
and teens programs (Castilla
Beach), |
| an adults-only
area (pool at El
Moro), |
| some relaxing
(spas - Country Club,
Marina Beach), |
| some golfing
(27-hole championship
golf course), |
| some fishing (Ares
Fleet), |
| or even some
excursions (PronaTours),
El Cid would be your
choice. |
Mazatlan
as a destination is
also never
disappointing. This is
especially important
for those clients
looking for something
authentically Mexican
(the
Colonial City on the
Beach) when they
have already been to
the other popular
Mexican sun
destinations.
Just a reminder that
we have some great
tour operator
partners. WestJet is
flying year round to
Mazatlan with same day
connections from most
western airports.
Sunwing is flying
direct from YVR, YYZ,
YUL, YEG, YYC, YEG,
YQR, YXE, YOW, YYJ
during the winter
season.
