Starting October 21st of 2011 Air France will begin operations for direct flights from Paris to Cancun. The CEO of the the airline in Mexico, Jérome Salemi, says the company will supply both to and from flights 3 times per week, on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
In regards to Air France’s newfound interest in Cancun, the representative of the company says the investment to connect Paris and Cancun in such a way is an excellent opportunity for growth of operations in this location, including the Riviera Maya. And is a great development for not only French tourists but all Europeans with access to Mexico via the route, further opening up the huge range of unique attractions Mexico has to offer to the world.
With Mexico being one of the world’s top destinations to vacation and its popularity continuing to grow rapidly, it seems only perfect timing that Air France would want to get on board with the boom the Riviera Maya and surrounding areas have become, the development confirms the interest of European travelers visiting tourist destinations in Quintana Roo, which is a benchmark globally for Mexico.
According to Air France, within the first 10 days of opening ticket sales for the new air routes, over 5000 seats have already been sold, with over 80% of these customers having already secured their passage to Mexico being from France and other European countries.
For its part, the state secretary of Tourism, Juan Carlos González Hernández, emphasized the importance of this flight, which will contribute to efforts to diversify tourist markets of Cancun and the Riviera Maya and maintain the state as the main tourist destination in Mexico and Latin America.
In addition, González Hernández also reiterated the Ministry of Tourism’s commitment to promote projects that contribute to economic development and tourism of the state and encourage the arrival of new investment to the sector.
