DELTA TO START NEW YEAR WITH DETROIT-TULUM FLIGHTS
November 1, 2024

Delta Airlines has announced the New Year will kick off with a new direct flight to Tulum. Starting January 11, 2025 Delta will introduce flights from Detroit to Tulum (TQO), a first for the airline.
Tulum is celebrated for its stunning beaches, ancient Mayan ruins and rich cultural heritage, making it an ideal destination for relaxing and exploring.
In addition, Delta announced they are adding other Mexico flights starting in the New Year, such as Los Angeles to Mazatlán. Meanwhile, Aeromexico launches services from Newark to Mexico City, and Denver to Monterrey.
Joe Esposito, Delta’s Senior V.P. of Network Planning, said about the announcement: “Mexico is one of our most popular destinations for US customers. That’s why we’re adding four new destinations in Mexico this year, giving our customers even more ways to experience Latin America’s rich cultural heritage.” With these new routes, Delta will operate up to 50 weekly flights to five destinations in Mexico, including other popular spots like Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico City, and Puerto Vallarta. Delta will offer 10 weekly flights from the U.S. to Tulum, with four flights on Saturdays.

Hyatt is entering the final months of 2026 with a growing collection of luxury properties across some of Mexico’s most sought-after destinations. From the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur to the Caribbean shoreline of the Riviera Maya and the cultural heart of Mexico City, the company is expanding its portfolio with distinctive properties designed around their individual settings and guest experiences. The Park Hyatt brand is at the center of this growth. Following the opening of Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol in December 2025, Park Hyatt Riviera Maya is expected to open by the end of 2026 as the brand’s first all-inclusive property worldwide. Park Hyatt Mexico City Polanco, a 155-room hotel overlooking Chapultepec Park, is expected to welcome guests in spring 2027. Together, the three properties offer very different ways to experience Mexico, from coastal escapes to an urban cultural stay. Hyatt’s expansion also includes Alila Mayakoba, which opened earlier this year within the Mayakoba complex. Set across 60 acres of beach, lagoon, and jungle, the resort combines wellness, locally inspired design, and a strong connection to the Yucatán Peninsula. Meanwhile, three new Grand Hyatt resorts—Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman, Grand Hyatt Cancun, and Grand Hyatt Los Cabos—are scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2026, with Cancún and Los Cabos introducing all-inclusive experiences to the Grand Hyatt portfolio. For planners, this growing portfolio creates even more possibilities for designing programs around different sides of Mexico. Whether a group is looking for a sophisticated urban experience, a secluded Caribbean setting, or the landscapes and culture of Baja, Destination Mexico can help bring these new properties together with the authentic experiences, local connections, and seamless logistics that make a program truly memorable
