Mexico Living EXPO – Vancouver 2010

Last March 27th and 28th the first ever Mexico Living EXPO (www.mexicolivingexpo.com) was successfully held in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

With an array of companies and developers from Cancun, Tulum, Manzanillo, Puerto Vallarta, Todos Santos and Cabo San Lucas the event was attended by many investors and the general public interested in products, services and real estate in Mexico and with the distinguished presence of keynote speakers like Mr. Ben Rosen from Rosen Law Partners covering topics such as "How to create a business in Mexico" and Mr. Luis Brasdefer from Mexico Consulting on "How to buy Real Estate in Mexico", the Mexico Living EXPO is now gaining momentum as one of the premier events to participate in Western Canada to attract new business and leads into Mexico.

Mexico Developers Looking to Canada for Buyers

With the United States still wallowing in the blahs, Mexico developers are allocating more resources to target Canadian second home buyers.

Although difficult to quantify, project managers say the Canadian snow birds are bouncing back quicker than other buyers. Canadians also seem more willing to pull the trigger on a sale, un-encumbered by the recent economic nightmares haunting U.S. buyers, developers say.

For example, on the southern tip of Baja California, 25 percent of thesecond home buyers in Puerto Los Cabos, a 2,000-acre marina and resort project, have been from Canada, according to Grupo Questro, the Mexican developer. In recent months builders in the Cabo San Lucas-area have specifically bulked up their marketing budgets to Calgary and Vancouver, a spokesman says.

Similar stories can be found in most Mexican resorts, which are trying to fight back after a year of intense coverage of horrific drug-related violence and various disasters, both man-made and natural.

Last week, Sarah Cox, who specializes in international sales for Grupo Grand Coral Riviera Maya, a developer with a series of gringo-oriented projects on Riviera Maya, participated in the Mexico Living Expo, an exhibition in Vancouver. In an e-mail interview, she discussed the "Canadian effect."

Cabo is "Open for Business"...and "We are inviting the World to visit"

This is the time to promote Mexico... to combat the negative publicity about the economy, the violence and the swine flu; to draw first time visitors and to invite old friends back to make sure that our Paradise gets back on its feet!

EvergreenCSL and Caboguy.com are organizing the 'Mexico Living Expo' to showcase tourism and investment opportunities in Mexico and specifically Los Cabos, which will held in Vancouver Canada next year March 27th & 28th, 2010. A Power Point presentation will explain the Expo and the benefits of participating; email ask@caboguy.com to request.

"Canadian Expo to Market Cabo"
Or rather it will if you sign up

If Los Cabos wants to pull out of the economic slump in a timely fashion it is important that we change the image of Mexico by marketing our destination for what it is, a beautiful, safe, healthy and friendly place.” Brian “Cabo Guy” Blackburn said he realized that earlier this year, even before the swine flu hit, and has been busy organizing a ’Mexico Living Expo’ for this fall in Vancouver designed to do just that, as well as take advantage of the pre-Olympics tourism the Canadian city is expecting.
