Viva Expeditions hosted New Zealand travel agents for a fun night celebrating Mexico and the Day of the Dead.
On Thursday, November 3, Viva Expeditions organized a function to celebrate Mexico and the famous Mexican tradition, Day of the Dead.
The event was visited by approximately 150 travel agents from different travel agencies around New Zealand as well as the Director of the Mexican Tourism Board, the Mexican Ambassador, Air New Zealand, Aeromexico & many travel media.
The event opened with a bang with the dramatic trailer for James Bond Spectre movie and continued in style with great presentations from the Mexican Ambassador, José Gerardo Traslosheros, the Director of the Mexican Tourism Board, Guillermo Eguiarte Bendímez, Air New Zealand & AeroMexico.
The evening features a margarita booth, a beer fountain, lots of Sangria, and delicious food prepared by the incredible team at Besos Latinos restaurant. Agents lined up for the face painting booth which was a huge hit. And we also flew in New Zealand’s leading Mariachi band from Christchurch for the evening, they were another hit with agents dancing the night away after the main formalities were over.
The function gave a good impression of the stunning country of Mexico, its culture, diversity, nature and its traditions.
