Global hospitality chain Hilton Hotels recently acquired three new locations in Mexico.
The new resorts will be known as the Hilton Vallarta Riviera All-Inclusive Resort, Hilton Tulum All-Inclusive and Conrad Tulum, the company said in a release.
The deal with Parks Holdings and Fibra Uno to purchase the properties continues Hilton's long-standing expansion and positions it to gain even more market share.
"Mexico has always been an incredibly important destination for Hilton," said Danny Hughes, executive VP and president of Hilton Americas. "These new additions are one more symbol that tourism in Mexico is rebounding, and it is with great pride that we continue evolving our offerings in this burgeoning market, especially in the luxury and all-inclusive segments."
It's no coincidence that the acquisition comes at a time when Hilton expects the tourism business to continue its bounceback from the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past two years, the tourism industry has suffered extreme losses as a result of the resulting travel restrictions and safety protocols. Now that vaccines are an option for many, more people are once again enthusiastic to travel and stay at Hiltons around the world.
Juan Corvinos, Hilton's VP for development, Caribbean and Latin America, asserted Hilton's plans for expansion.
“The addition of these resorts reinforces Hilton’s commitment to further our all-inclusive growth strategy and expansion of our luxury resorts portfolio in the top leisure destinations in the region," he said. "With today’s travelers planning that much-desired getaway, Hilton offers remarkable options. The announcement of these three new Hilton properties in Mexico comes on the heels of other recent all-inclusive development news: the May 2021 opening of The Yucatan Resort Playa Del Carmen, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, and the upcoming September 2021 opening of Mangrove Beach Corendon Curaçao Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton and November 2021 opening of Hilton Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort.”
Hilton is making a huge bet on Mexico, with over 70 existing hotels and more than 30 properties in the development stage.
The conversion of the Hilton Vallarta Riviera, previously owned by Fibra Uno and developed by Parks Holdings, should be completed by the end of the year, Hilton said in the release. In the meantime, the hotel is accepting August reservations. The Conrad Tulum and the Hilton Tulum All-Inclusive, owned and developed by Parks Hospitality, are accepting reservations for Jan.15, 2022 and June 12, 2023, respectively. All three beachfront hotels include lavish features such as full-service spas, pools and world-class dining.
