Have you ever noticed that even when the rest of the world seems to be on sale, your favorite Cabo resort stays pricey?

I’ve been watching the numbers, and it’s official: Los Cabos is completely leaving other Mexican hotspots in the dust.

While other destinations are struggling to fill rooms, we’re seeing a “soft landing” here that proves people are still dying to visit.

The Secret to the “Soft Landing”

I’ve always said that Cabo plays by a different set of rules.

Instead of chasing mass volume, the strategy here is all about visitor value. Even though there was a tiny 5% drop in total volume, the destination is still raking in premium revenue.

It turns out travelers would rather pay more for an aspirational, high-end experience than settle for the usual mass-market crowds.
