Now Is the Perfect Time to Visit Mexico: Exclusive Deals and Complimentary Extras Put Vacationers in a Festive Spirit

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- If you've been dreaming about your next vacation, this is not the time to settle on just any standard hotel or destination. Get ready to say Viva Mexico! Travel-Ticker.com(R), home to some of the best insider deals at many of the world's favorite destinations, just revealed its handpicked list of Top 10 Luxurious Mexico Getaways. Popular resort areas in Mexico predominantly remained safe throughout the recent scares, and the country overall has moved towards recovery at this point. Yet vacation hotspots are still sitting wide open. So now is the time to take advantage of low rates and complimentary extras, the likes of which the experts at Travel Ticker(TM) have never seen before. Luxury properties all over Mexico are doing their best to entice tourists back to their world-famous beaches, at a fraction of the price of what it cost to visit these same locales just a year ago.

"This summer through the fall, we're seeing resorts in Mexico offering incredible discounts - up to 50 percent off regular retail rates," said Barbara Messing, Vice President of Travel-Ticker.com. "And that's not all: hotels are doing back flips to attract tourists by including complimentary incentives such as room upgrades, wine therapy sessions, airport transfers, romantic dinners, private plunge pools or resort credits. Amazingly, some resorts are even offering free vacations for your kids, where they can stay, eat, and play at no charge."

Travel providers in exotic locales from Puerto Vallarta, Cozumel, Cabo to Cancun are responding to their own availabilities and consumers' shrinking budgets to offer up extraordinary deals that will attract travelers to their tropical beaches, pool cabanas, hotel suites, award spas, restaurants and rooftop terraces. Through its relationships with more than 10,000 travel companies and 1,000 partners, Travel-Ticker.com features handpicked travel bargains you won't see on other sites, resorts and boutique hotels that don't usually sell online and special limited-time offers for travel-savvy customers. Deals are not posted to the site unless they truly are special.
