In recent years, luxury tourism has experienced remarkable growth in Mexico and the Caribbean, consolidating its position as one of the key drivers of economic development in the region. This segment, which combines exclusive experiences, personalized services and unique destinations, has captured the attention of travelers with high purchasing power in search of something more than just a vacation. 

Luxury tourism has evolved beyond traditional five-star resort accommodations. Today, travelers are looking for authentic experiences, with an emphasis on sustainability, local culture and exclusivity. Mexico and the Caribbean have been able to adapt to these demands, taking advantage of their unparalleled natural resources, rich cultural heritage and the warmth of their people.

According to recent data from the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), this sector has shown steady growth despite global challenges, such as the pandemic. In 2023, revenues generated by luxury tourism in the region exceeded $20 billion, representing a 15% increase over the previous year.
