Yes, Fall is officially here. I know
that from seeing the colourful
leaves falling during my walks at
the New Westminster Quay. I also
know it is Fall as all of our agent
partners are busy booking Fall and
Winter sun destinations.
|
|
Plus, we are busy with all of the
Fall trade shows. We have seen many
of you at the ACV, Jalisco and
Pacific Mexico shows over the last
month.
|
|
It has been great for me and our
team to touch base with so many of
you over the past few months. I
hope to see some of you at the
upcoming Mazatlan events in the
prairies, Montreal and Toronto next
week. (See the details below).

For almost 2 years now, I’ve been
reminding you about the mandatory Resort
Fee at
all El Cid properties. It is $15
USD/day/room or
about $145 CAD per week, and is paid
by the clients on property. I’ve
recommended that you add this right
on your client’s invoice, so there
are no surprises on property.
|
|
In Mazatlan, the Resort Fee now
includes discounts on spa
treatments, water excursions, deep
sea fishing, golf, local tours (with
PronaTours - part of El Cid) and
more.
In the Riviera Maya, the Resort Fee
now includes discounts on spa
treatments, romantic dinners, scuba
and snorkeling excursions, room
upgrades and more.
You can find all of the Resort Fee
details and discounts HERE.

|
Next week we have the Mazatlan
events in Saskatoon, Regina,
Winnipeg, Montreal and Toronto. We
hope to see you at one of these
shows.
|
|
There is a seat or 2 available at
the Saskatoon and Regina events. The
other shows are sold out, but if you
want to get on the waitlist, just
email Veronica
Rivas.
