With the new year right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about your 2023 travels. Hospitality experts in Mexico and the Caribbean share their thoughts on what trends they believe will take off or continue to rise in popularity.
Food
Thoughts on Environmental Awareness from Daniel Franco, executive chef, Canopy by Hilton Cancun La Isla:
Responsible consumption is important, with travelers starting to pay more attention to where the food comes from. At Canopy by Hilton Cancun La Isla, chefs work with fishermen who use responsible, sustainable methods, as well as source ingredients from local, environmentally friendly producers. These practices provide guests with quality and sustainable cuisine while also supporting the local community.
Beverage
Thoughts on Mixology Classes from Diana Gonzalez, food and beverage director, Canopy by Hilton Cancun La Isla:
There has been an increase in popularity for mixology classes, especially among young travelers. The classes are a great way for groups to do something interactive and fun while learning a new skill.
Thoughts on Complexity from Tito Pin Perez, creative director, Rayo Cocktail Bar:
Drinks continue to evolve in complexity, straying away from just juices, sweeteners and spirits. Bars are becoming more competitive and creative with drink options to keep up with customers’ hopes and expectations.
Travel
Thoughts on Connecting with The Community by Chris Pardo, co-owner, King Christian Hotel, St. Croix:
Guests continue to express interest in how the hotel involves itself with the local community. Travelers want to help give back and preserve the local community. For example, at King Christian Hotel, culinary concepts are managed by Neighborhood Establishment. The hotel also partners with Virgin Islands Food Coalition on a community fund. The fund develops programs providing local students with fresher local fruits and veggies.
