Other Popular Attractions

According to the Los Cabos Tourism Trust, there are a couple of other reasons why visitors choose the beach resort destination for their vacations. Following behind nature and environmental sustainability are gastronomy and culture.

Gastronomy, or “foodie” culture, has been a very important trend that the Los Cabos Tourism Trust has really tried to focus on to attract the more upscale luxury traveler.

They worked with local resorts and restaurants to put together special events such as Taste of Los Cabos, paella festivals, and even one dedicated to different types of seafood. There have also been special events for Tequila and mixed drinks.

The foodie traveler segment has grown significantly as Los Cabos works to reposition itself toward becoming more of a luxury resort destination for travelers.

Culture has always been an important focus of visitors to Los Cabos, yet it has not been part of the marketing focus of the community.

Culture could potentially move up in importance as the luxury segment expands its visitation to Los Cabos.
