GOL AIRLINES TO RESUME DIRECT FLIGHTS BETWEEN BRAZIL AND CANCUN
September 5, 2024
The Brazilian airline Gol Linhas Aéreas will resume its direct flights between Brazil and Cancún, starting on December 10th. The airline will offer two weekly flights which will attract a greater number of visitors from Brazil and the South American continent.
“Direct flights between Brazil and Cancún were suspended in February 2023 and now, with a recovery in demand and a renewed vision of the new era of tourism in Quintana Roo, Gol will be the only airline to offer this direct route with two weekly flights,” Governor Mara Lezama said in a statement.
She continued, “the viability of operations to Cancún, one of the largest tourist destinations in the world, which currently does not have direct flights from Brazil, represents an immense gain for Brazilians, Mexicans and, other leisure travelers from all over South America.”
“Gol’s objective is to bring our people closer and contribute to the development of tourism throughout the region,” said Rafael Araújo, the Director of Gol Air Planning. The resumption of flights to Cancún is part of Gol’s international expansion. With this, Quintana Roo is increasingly connected to the world, bringing more tourism than ever to the Yucatán peninsula.

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
