Or better yet, revisit one of your favorite destinations! In the end, the purpose of Travel and Tourism Week is to showcase great destinations and to partake in the excitement it has to offer. If you are looking for a sign to finally take that trip you have been meaning to take, this is it!

While on the subject of destinations to visit, we highly recommend Mexico! Mexico has plenty of diverse regions and much to do, see, and eat. You can take in the jungle scenery, immerse yourself in the vibrant culture, eat and drink the local delicacies, or lounge in its endless beaches like those in Puerto Vallarta.

Puerto Vallarta happens to be a favorite destination for LGBTQ+ weddings. The location is beautiful and romantic, with views of vivid orange sunsets, deep blue water, and lush green mountains. If you've always dreamed of celebrating your nuptials at a beautiful LGBTQ+ welcoming villa for you and your guests, then Villa Savana in Puerto Vallarta, the perfect venue for your dream wedding, can make your wishes come true! It's the perfect venue for your dream wedding. Villa Savana offers several exquisite locations for your special event, including a 1,300 square foot rooftop Palapa Bar terrace and 1400 square foot grand patio. Both feature a 360-degree panoramic view of Vallarta, or you may choose our tropical garden setting. Villa Savana is an idyllic venue for weddings and celebrations! Event capacity is 175 guests. Villa Savana is offering $1000 off their $2500 event fee if they can share your special event photos in their future marketing materials promoting weddings at Villa Savana.

Mexico is a vibrant country with spectacular beaches, food, culture, and architecture. Whether you want to stay in your resort all vacation or venture out into the local areas, Mexico is the perfect, relaxing getaway.

For their inclusive and welcoming spirit, please join us in congratulating Mexico's world-renowned Los Cabos for their official GayTravel Approved^® 2021 designation!

What’s a memorable vacation without memorable food? Whether you are soaking up the sun on the beach, lounging by the pool, or exploring the city, Mexico has a delicious array of foods you can try while visiting. You can venture out into the town and try some local street food like street tacos or churros. While lounging by the beach, you can try some Ceviche and enjoy the fresh seafood Mexico has to offer. Finally, for the foodie, you can try some traditional Mexican stews such as Menudo or Pozole. Mexico has plenty of dishes to try so take your pallet on vacation and try the best food Mexico has to offer.

Are libations more your style? Enjoy a refreshing Margarita, poolside. The sweet and sour tequila cocktail is a popular drink known around the world. Looking for something more traditional? We suggest you partake in a Paloma. Unlike a Margarita, a Paloma is not as sweet as the margarita counterpart but made with grapefruit soda, tequila, and a grapefruit wedge. Finally, if you are looking for something regional and different, then give Mezcal a try. Mezcal is tequila's smokey cousin. Its popularity is quickly gaining traction as people are enjoying this complex spirit either in a cocktail or served neat with an orange slice.
