Royal Caribbean and the port city of Cozumel, Mexico are enjoying good relations, according to Royal Caribbean vice president of government relations Michael Ronan. Ronan met with Cozumel mayor Aurelio Joaquin Gonzalez prior to participating in the Diagnostic Cruise Tourism Workshop, organized by the Federal Ministry of Tourism.
Ronan said his attendance at this event as a speaker was because of a direct request from the Tourism Ministry to help spread a vision statement for the cruise line segment of tourism.
During his speech, Ronan explained how relations between the cruise industry and the island of Cozumel have contributed to building Cozumel as a destination that is requested by a lot of vacationers. Guests say the cruise they want to continue taking will offer destinations in Mexico such as Cozumel, but it will be important to diversify the offerings in Mexico because of different tastes and preferences among cruise passengers.
"It is important for Mexico to remain on par with what is bringing cruise tourists", Ronan said.
