As prices of flights continue to rise, longhaul destinations are looking more competitive for value this summer.
"We have a direct flight from Dublin to Cancun, Mexico, during the summer months offering great choice and value on all inclusive options," said Maura Fahy, managing director of Fahy Travel. "While offering the traditional Caribbean experience — excellent hotels, food and entertainment, customers are surprised to find out what a diverse range of activities await on the Yucatan peninsula.
"All of our sales team have been to Yucatan, some having returned to further explore its rich culture and history.
"Cichen Itza is a world famous archaeological site but there are several other gems to explore. Tulum is one of the lesser known resorts, it has its own ancient temples where you can learn about the history of the Mayan civilizations.
"The Cenotes — natural sinkholes filled with fresh water — offer swimming, snorkelling and diving surrounded by jungle. Or you can take a guided tour of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site preserving the natural beauty and wildlife indigenous to this area.
"Tulum also has a thriving wellness and spiritual community and you can participate in traditional Mayan rituals, yoga retreats or take one of the local sustainable tours. The coastline has the second largest coral reef system in the world and there are several snorkelling and diving spots nearby. There is also a ferry from here to Cozumel, and explore its beautiful beaches and reefs."
