Royal Caribbean Cruises will add 15 port stops in St. Maarten in 2020

Photo: Darryl Brooks/123RF Royal Caribbean Cruises will add 15 port stops in St. Maarten in 2020 aboard the Freedom of the Seas, according to a statement, bringing an additional 68,000 guests to the island during off-peak months. Traditionally, the St. Maarten vacation destination experiences its peak in visitor arrivals between December and March. Between May and December, there is a reduction in those visitor arrival numbers that impact the island’s tourism-based economy. Additional Royal Caribbean guest arrivals during the May to December period help moderate the highs and lows of St. Maarten’s tourism season fluctuations. Source: Cruise Industry News

It’s official: Lesbian-gay visitors like Mexico

Photo: Konstantin Kalishko /123rf Mexico is one of the most visited countries for lesbian-gay tourists in Latin America. According to the Mexican Secretariat of Tourism states the country receives around three and a half million tourists from the LGBTQ community annually. Mexico is only surpassed in Latin America by the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. Mexico has positioned itself as a long-haul travel destination for the LGBT+ community Mexico’s culture draws tens of millions of visitors every year, from its colorful Day of the Dead celebrations to the national reverence for gastronomy that means there is something delicious to taste around almost every corner.
