Top Mundial 2023 awards Limassol-based Cisalpina Tours

With offices in Limassol since September this year, Cisalpina Tours has been awarded among the best TMC partners of Aeromexico during Top Mundial, the airline event that every year celebrates the commitment of travel agencies.

This year's edition was held in Mérida, in the state of Yucatan in Mexico from 29 November to 2 December and welcomed tourism retail from Europe, Asia, the United States, Canada, and all of Latin America, Mexico included.

The event was developed in collaboration with the Yucatàn State Secretariat which also organised an education programme to introduce the destination to the attendees, a relevant announcement from Cisalpina Tours noted.

Business travel from Europe to Latin America represents a market with large growth potential, considering that analysts estimate a turnover of over 43 billion dollars (2022 data) and a progression to 68 billion in five years to come, the announcement went on to underline.

"The growth rate of 6% is a figure that Cisalpina Tours considers worthy of attention, also by virtue of the recent investments of our partner Aeromexico, which just last summer returned to serving the route from Rome Fiumicino to Mexico City non-stop," argues Giorgio Garcea, Chief Commercial & Operations Officer of Cisalpina Tours, before adding, "As the only full-service airline in the country, Aeromexico represents an essential operator for business travel, especially with regards to our international expansion program which intercepts the growing demand for long-haul travel from the American continent to Europe and vice-versa."

In synergy with tour parent company MSC Group, Cisalpina Tours has undertaken a large internationalisation project which leads it to be the first Italian TMC with development in 10 foreign markets currently. The offices in New York, Santos in Brazil, Izmir and Kousadasi in Turkey, Limassol in Cyprus, and Hamburg in Germany are operational, while the openings of the European offices in Paris, London, Geneva, and Madrid are underway. Phase two of the expansion will begin in 2024, in South Africa and the Far East, the company's announcement noted.

Garcea continued, "Aeromexico's network of destinations in Mexico, the United States, Canada, Central and South America, Asia, and Europe is extremely functional to our development as well as its fleet, consisting of Boeing 787s and 737s as well as state-of-the-art Embraer 190s, fully reflect the service levels we offer to business travelers from the 800 companies whose business travel spend we manage."

From this perspective, Cisalpina Tours observes with extreme interest the future developments of both Aeromexico and the country. The airline has increased its flight offering in Europe, in Madrid and Paris (home of the XXXIII Olympic Games) in summer 2024, while innovative companies such as the ones in the automotive industry plan to establish billion-dollar production plants, which will bring economic growth and the need for new air connections and hotel services, Cisalpina Tours' announcement concluded.
