The benefits that this certification will bring are the implementation of good practices in health safety, the correct definition of hygiene processes and procedures, the development of sanitary discipline in employees, providing certainty and safety at work, and last but not least, increase the trust and loyalty of our clients.

In addition to these important certifications and processes, the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) announced that Cancún and the Mexican Caribbean will be the first destination in America in receiving the “Global Safety Stamp”, due to its hard work on implementing high hygiene and sanitization standards in hotels, airports and tourist attractions.
