Mazatlan Announces 2011 Gran Fiesta Amigos Celebration

Mexico’s Pacific Coast city of Mazatlan kicks off the fall travel season in grand style with its 2011 Gran Fiesta Amigos celebration, taking place Oct. 31 to Nov. 3. This 17th annual event welcomes the destination’s travel partners to the city, including the wholesalers, tour operators, airlines, incentive companies, journalists, tourism dignitaries and friends of Mazatlan who continue to support the ongoing growth of this seaside destination.

Mazatlan recently celebrated a new partnership with the launch of American Airlines’ daily non-stop service from Dallas-Fort Worth, boosting tourism revenue by more than $15 million and affording new travel options for the more than 2 million travelers who visit Mazatlan each year.

Earlier this summer, the destination hosted the world’s top surf athletes for the Quiksilver Clásico Mazatlan, a four-star event of the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) international tour.
