itravel2000, a Travelzest Company, declares "I love Mexico!" and urges Canadians to see why .
Canadians have a long term love affair with Mexico and it doesn’t show any signs of diminishing. Jonathan Carroll, CEO of Travelzest, recently travelled to Mexico to rediscover his own love for Canada’s favourite vacation destination.
The popularity of the destination continues to grow steadily, as Statistics Canada R eports demonstrate: in 2005, 600,000 Canadians travelled to Mexico, this number increased to over 1.460 million passengers in 2010.
Commenting on his recent trip, Jonathan Carroll stated “ I love Mexico for a variety of reasons ; the friendly people, delicious food, the history and the vibrant culture... Mexico has matured as a tourism destination: It has everything! Attractions, beaches, all kinds of accommodation , everything is here.”
Normally tight lipped about endorsing a destination, Mr. Carroll is encouraging Canadians to discover, or indeed rediscover, the exciting country and find their own reason to fall in love with it.
Mexico continues to be a year round travel destination for Canadians and itravel2000 invites everyone to discover their passion for Mexico with Why I Love Mexico, a unique initiative combining social media, exclusive offers and lots of inspiration for sun-starved Canadians.
By providing all the tools needed to research and book the right vacation at a price that makes sense, itravel2000’s unique Mexico Super Store allows price-conscious Canadians from coast-to-coast to shop by price and destination. As part of itravel2000’s ongoing social media initiatives, travel writer Lyndsay Reader’s blogs and videos will inspire Canadians to live their own love affair with Mexico.
