Expedia Awards Mexico Tourism Partners for Successful Partnerships

With substantial growth in bookings to Cancun and Riviera Maya, Expedia is looking to award its travel partners for the hard work they've put in to attract travelers to Mexico. The online travel company is holding a partner appreciation event for over 250 members of the local hospitality community. Lodging partners from across Cancun, Riviera Maya and Cozumel that took the top places in their respective markets for room nights booked on Expedia and Hotels.com sites in the first half of 2011 will be recognized by the Expedia executives.

Pablo Castro, the director of market management, Mexico & Central America, Expedia said,“We are very excited to celebrate the successes that these hotel partners have achieved through their participation in Expedia’s online travel marketplace...by capitalizing on Expedia’s unparalleled global reach, valuable insights and targeted marketing opportunities, these hotels have successfully extended their visibility and attracted new travelers to their properties, growing their bookings through Expedia’s channels as a result.”
