Cancún, Mexico (December 11, 2024) – The Quintana Roo Tourism Promotion Council (CPTQ) has launched the new “Luxury Experience by Mexican Caribbean” campaign showcasing the Mexican Caribbean’s world-class offerings across its 12 iconic destinations. Featuring vistas of signature crystal-clear waters and lush natural landscapes, the campaign (view here) invites travelers to experience time as the ultimate luxury, with endless opportunities to slow down, recharge and reconnect.
“Luxury is a deeply personal experience, and each of our destinations provide travelers the freedom to define luxury on their own terms, whether that means having the luxury of time, exclusivity, or extraordinary experiences,” said Andres Martinez, Director of the CPTQ. “From designer shopping to pristine, white-sand beaches, cutting-edge spa treatments, and globally recognized golf courses, the Mexican Caribbean is unlike any other luxury destination in the world, and our transformative offerings will provide lifelong memories for all who visit.”
Rooted in the core themes of time, quality, and valuable connections, the Luxury Experience by Mexican Caribbean campaign invites travelers to indulge in personal wellbeing, exquisite cuisine and tailored experiences. With 559 miles of coastline, vibrant culinary scenes, iconic Mayan archaeological sites, and marquee events, the region combines natural beauty, rich culture, and unparalleled service to create truly unforgettable moments.
