Mexico Vacations Endure + Marriott's Reservations Overhaul + Delta's Competitive Edge

October 15, 2018

Editor's Note

Americans have been vacationing in Mexico for nearly a century, a perennial ritual for some tourists who can't get enough of the sun, beaches, and affordable resorts. But violence and the recent political turmoil between the U.S. and Mexico prompted Assistant Editor Sarah Enelow-Snyder to wonder whether this staple of tourism — the American vacation in Mexico — is changing.

What you'll read below is a fascinating look at the evolution of Mexico tourism and how the behavior of American consumers is adapting. This deep dive is full of facts, analysis, and personal anecdotes from travelers and tourism professionals, all viewed through the lens of history. Capturing a single destination's relationship with a dedicated group of visitors, we hope, will provide larger lessons on sustaining long-term tourism relationships.
