“We are delighted to be inaugurating the 5th edition of the Expo Negocios Hotelera Los Cabos. It is one of the plans we work on the most as a Hotel Association because it has one objective: bringing different service and product providers together. In this tour, you will see the different suppliers we have. As the Hotel Association, we have captured the need for suppliers to get closer to the hotels and also for the hotels to have a broader portfolio of suppliers to make decisions on negotiation, services or contracting”.He said that the plan to carry out an exhibition was born eight years ago, and its growth was organic due to the success of past editions.
“This time, we are with more than 80 suppliers, almost double what we had last year. We also hope to have a great attendance, and we invite the 96 partner hotels to come and see what we have planned and worked on for you during the year. I hope it will be fruitful and we leave with a good taste in our mouths and with contracts signed and negotiations completed,” said Lilzi Orcí.
