Ahead of FITUR, Civitatis celebrates the launch of new outbound air routes from Mexico in 2024 and advises global tour operators and activity providers to seize the opportunity by preparing targeted offerings for this growing market.
These new connections represent not only exciting travel possibilities for Mexican nationals but also a significant opportunity for the travel and tourism sector to engage with an increasingly influential outbound market.
Last year, Civitatis reached a key milestone, surpassing one million reservations from Mexican travelers, 94% of which were for international trips. This remarkable achievement underscores Mexico’s growing status as a powerful source market for global tourism. With enhanced air connectivity in 2024, the potential for tourism providers to tap into the Mexican market has never been greater.
New outbound routes from Mexico in 2024 include Aeromexico’s daily flights connecting Mexico to Italy, enhancing travel to major Italian cities such as Rome, Milan, and Venice. China Southern Airlines has also launched direct flights from Shenzhen to Mexico City, facilitating easier access to key destinations across Asia. Additionally, Volaris has inaugurated a daily route from Monterrey to San Antonio, Texas, with plans to expand this service in 2025.
These new routes not only present exciting opportunities for Mexican travelers to explore destinations in Europe, Asia, and North America but also allow providers to cater specifically to Spanish-speaking travelers.
Espinel stated: “The Mexican outbound market is growing at an unprecedented pace, making it an exciting time for providers of tours and activities worldwide. We encourage providers to align their offerings with the preferences of Mexican travelers—curating experiences in Spanish and focusing on destinations like Europe, Asia, and North America, where interest is surging.”
He emphasized the importance of language accessibility and tailored experiences, asserting that Civitatis prides itself on delivering seamless, high-quality tours in Spanish that enhance travelers’ journeys.
