One recent group booking I organized was for a wedding party to fly from Australia to Mexico, particularly to Puerto Vallarta. Arranging all flights from different capital cities from Australia was a challenge, but the bigger challenge was to find Puerto Vallarta Rentals which could accommodate them all for about a week’s stay at least. Luckily, I have chanced upon this website that offered Puerto Vallarta Villas to be available on the couple’s wedding day, plus the dates immediately preceding and following their special day. Did you know how excitingly detailed it is to plan a destination wedding such as this?! So much to consider, down from guest accommodation, flowers, ceremony, wedding rites, legal documents, weather information, overall ambiance, tradition, music, etc. It's good that the hotel took care of most of these details. I had to make sure that everyone's passports were all valid, visas applied for (if required), meal requests, seat requests, group check in, baggages, and all those other things pertaining to air travel. Well, of course plus the bit about accommodation, room configurations, special meal requests. I know this may all be jargon to the ordinary traveller, but if one is so much into details it can be a pretty overwhelmingly nice experience to be a part of this event planning (considering I am only meant to be a travel agent!).
One thing I have learned in this exercise was there were heaps of villas Puerto Vallarta could offer. There were different categories, areas, price range, packages and inclusions that made up the whole gorgeous atmosphere that this Mexican city could offer. Really, at the end of the day, it did not matter whether it was a big group that one was organizing (such as weddings, conferences, incentives and others), or an intimate honeymoon for two. The key is to know what your clients want out of their trip. I think I am a little bit more confident in selling Puerto Vallarta as a destination, having gone through all that research for my client!
