Mexico Timeshare

The Mexican timeshare developer Grupo Vidanta has announced an unprecedented partnership with Cirque du Soleil. The group, known for timeshares such as the Grand Mayan and Mayan Palace, announced plans to build a state-of-the-art theater at their timeshare resort in Riviera Maya for a brand new Cirque du Soleil dinner show.

The one-of-a-kind experience will be the first Cirque du Soleil resident show located outside of Orlando, FL and Las Vegas, NV.

Grupo Vidanta founder, Daniel Chavez Moran shared, “We believe the entertainment offerings for our region’s guests and visitors should rival any in the world. Through our partnership with Cirque du Soleil we will deliver an entertainment experience beyond what currently exists in Mexico or the world in the Vidanta Theater in Riviera Maya. This entirely new category of entertainment will be an experience one must see, hear and taste. We are extremely proud to bring this dream to life.”

The new auditorium will be named The Vidanta Theater and will seat up to 600 people. Grupo Vidanta will construct the theater specifically to fit with the Cirque du Soleil experience. Chief architect Arturo Hernandez designed the theater with a feeling of intimacy between guests and performers. The level of interaction guests will have with the Cirque du Soleil performers is a first for the popular entertainment group. Guests will also experience full-service dining and champagne service throughout the show.

President &amps; CEO of Cirque du Soleil, Daniel Lamarre said, “This is the marriage of two creators of unique entertainment and world-class experiences. We were asked four years ago by Grupo Vidanta to imagine something different, something new, something unprecedented for this destination. We’re excited that our partnership will unveil a new intersection for us between performance and culinary creativity. The setting is the most intimate custom-built theater of all the Cirque du Soleil resident theaters in the world.”

The Vidanta Theater is scheduled to open in November 2014. For more information, visit cirquedusoleil.com/rivieramaya.

In a press release on Friday, Sunset World Resorts & Vacation Experiences announced a successful gathering of the 5th annual Latin American Meeting on Sustainable Management of Water. The timeshare resort company welcomed a group of researchers to their Hacienda Tres Rios Resort in Riviera Maya to discuss conservation efforts.

One topic discussed was the group’s EXCEED project. EXCEED is a collaboration between Sunset World and researchers to find ways to conserve drinking water, as well as find ways to improve sanitation, pollution, and sustainability.

During the meeting, Mexican research experts partnered with scientists from Brazil and Germany to review the ecosystems and water conservation of major coastal cities around the world. All parties deemed the event at the Hacienda Tres Rios Resort to be a success.

Engineer Rodolfo Silva, who attended the meeting shared, “On behalf of all of the EXCEED meeting participants, I want to express our thanks for all of the generous attentions we received from the staff of Hacienda Tres Rios. Without a doubt, the results of the meeting were excellent and we all enjoyed very much the hotel installations, the climate, cloudy during work days but sunny for our day of rest.”

Water conservation is a major theme discussed not only in Mexico but around the world as well. In 2014, over 200 million people still do not have access to clean drinking water and 3 million do not have sanitation systems. Sunset World Resorts & Vacation Experience understands the importance of contributing to this effort in Mexico and helping to spread awareness across the globe.

Similar meetings were also held around the world in countries such as Turkey, Ethiopia, and China. These events are thanks to a global effort from the Center of Excellence For The Cooperation and Development of Sustainable Management of Water, the EXCEED project, and the Federal Ministry for the Cooperation and Economic Development of Germany. The German service of international exchange students and scientists also played a large role in coordinating the meetings.

Timeshare Resorts and developers can play a huge part in conserving natural resources, including water. Sunset World has made a great effort to give back to their country and community by supporting efforts such as these. For more information, please visit SunsetWorld.net.

The timeshare exchange company RCI recognizes that affiliated companies, like El Cid are an enormous part of their success. That is why RCI’s President’s Club Award is given annually to RCI’s highest performing affiliated resorts around the world. Without these resorts, RCI would not be the exchange leader that they are today.
