Direct London-Cancun Flight Confirmed: SECTUR

Direct London-Cancun Flight Confirmed: SECTUR • July 2010

• This flight will boost tourism outside the border, which provides greater profits for the country
• Operations scheduled to begin in November

CancunThe Federal Government Tourism Secretary (Sectur) reports that the direct London-Cancún flight, to be operated by British Airway, will boost tourism outside the border area, which provides greater profits for Mexico.

On the basis of the information provided by the English office of the Council for the Promotion of Tourism in Mexico and British Airways, the flight is expected to begin operations to Cancún, Quintana Roo in November.

It is important to note that tourism outside border areas is the country's main producer of foreign currency from tourism in the country and that during the first quarter of this year, it increased by 2.5% over the same period in 2009.

CPTM assistant general director Rodolfo López Negrete says that English tourists are very interested in visiting Cancún and that this direct flight means will significantly increase the flow of visitors to this region of the Mexican Caribbean.

CPTM Regional Director for Europe Manuel Díaz Cebrián declared: "We are pleased that British Airways is offering the only direct flight from the United Kingdom to Cancún."

He explained that this flight is the perfect complement of the high-income market network from Gatwick to luxury hotels, virgin beaches and well-known golf courses and spas.

“This destination is also the entrance to the Yucatán Peninsula and the age-old culture of the Maya,” he said.

The airline will cover the route with a Boeing 777 and ticket and package sales began on June 15th.

This air link confirms Cancún's place in high-income tourism. It is the best-known Mexican tourist resort according to the World Tourism Organization, (WTO).
