| Clemen Del Tejo and Orlando Hidalgo, Riviera Maya Destination Marketing Office | | Vancouver is becoming a major market for travel to Mexico, said Daniel Gutierrez, director of the Mexico Tourism Board’s Vancouver office at an evening hosted by the Riviera Maya Tourism Board at the Empire Landmark Hotel on September 25. Citing a study that tracked advertising effectiveness in the U.S. and Canada, including Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, Gutierrez noted that Vancouver was leading the way in Canada for destination recognition and travel intentions.
