Playa del Carmen, Mexico (December 18, 2006) – Riviera Maya was honoured as the top destination in Mexico by Travel Weekly readers for a third consecutive year at the Annual Readers’ Choice Awards Gala and Dinner held on December 14, 2006 in New York City. In its fourth year, the black-tie event celebrated finalists in 51 categories, including destinations, hotels, airlines, tour operators, cruise lines and ships, theme parks and car rental services.
Award recipients were chosen by Travel Weekly readers first in an open ballet phase conducted this past summer, followed by a vote on the top finalists in each category that took place through October 21, 2006. All candidates represent the highest standards of service and excellence, as readers were asked to identify travel industry leaders that have demonstrated the most outstanding product and service over the past twelve months. More details on the Travel Weekly Readers’ Choice Awards will be featured in Travel Weekly’s January 15, 2007 edition.
Easily accessible from many cities throughout the US, the 81-mile stretch known as the Riviera Maya is situated in the Mexican Caribbean on the coastline of the Yucatan Peninsula in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. Beginning 11 miles south of the Cancun International Airport in Puerto Morelos, the Riviera Maya extends to Felipe Carrillo Puerto, a small town near the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve.
The region features the tranquility of uncrowded beaches, a vast network of underground rivers, more than 100 cenotes, the action of eco-adventure sports, including kayaking, mountain biking, scuba diving, snorkelling, trekking, birdwatching and deep-sea fishing, proximity to many of Mexico’s most significant Mayan archeological sites, the varied activities of the eco-archeological parks, plus golf courses, shopping, gourmet dining and a range of accommodations to suit every lifestyle and budget.
The Riviera Maya has been named a Top Destination in Mexico for three consecutive years by Travel Weekly (2004, 2005 and 2006) and was also featured in the January 2006 issue of Travel + Leisure as “The Next Riviera.”
