Grupo Mayan Business Travel Tips

The Grupo Mayan resorts of Mexico are proud to welcome hundreds of business guests each year. Our conference facilities are state of the art and our amenities are the best of any resorts. To help our business travelers plan for their trip the Grupo Mayan business travel team has some great tips.

When traveling to Mexico, say the Grupo Mayan business pros, you may be crossing time zones. It is a great idea to make your travel plans so that you arrive a day early to your Grupo Mayan resort.  The extra day will help you get adjusted to the local time.

All business travelers carry numerous documents, especially if traveling overseas.  Keep a separate envelope just for your travel documents so they will be in one place and readily available, say the Grupo Mayan pros.  Include passports, credit cards numbers and other important papers in the envelope and you will breeze through customs and immigration.

If you are in charge of planning a conference at a Grupo Mayan resort you should work closely with a Grupo Mayan business planner to make sure all the equipment you need is arranged for. We will provide for all of your technology needs and will be able to have your conference rooms set up for your arrival.

Remember that all airlines have extra security measures these days.  Make sure to arrive at airports in time especially if traveling overseas because you will be required to go through extra security measures. Look at your airlines website and familiarize yourself with their regulations concerning luggage and what you can and cannot bring on the plane.

The Grupo Mayan resorts accept all major credit cards but local businesses and restaurants may not.  Plan to bring travelers checks that can be exchanged for local currency at your Grupo Mayan resort.

Grupo Mayan business travelers love all of the act ivies provided by the Grupo Mayan resorts. Pack accordingly.  The weather at the Grupo Mayan resorts is tropical and you will want to pack shorts and bathing suits for the times you are not in meetings.  If you are a golfer or play tennis you will find our facilities fabulous so pack accordingly.

The Grupo Mayan Mexican resorts welcome hundreds of guests each year.  To make your air travel to your Grupo Mayan destination less stressful, the Grupo Mayan staff has the following tips for speeding through airport security.

Airports themselves are working hard to speed up the security process. Technology is constantly being updated to reduce wait times in security checkpoint lines.  Even a new laptop bag is now available that is considered checkpoint friendly.

There are also several tricks the travel can use, say the Grupo staff, to speed up the security checkpoint process.  An internet check will tell you that the number one thing that slows down security checkpoint lines is the restriction on liquids.  All liquids that are carried on planes must be no larger than three ounces.  This can be very problematic to travelers who have not prepared, but by making sure that all of your liquids are in small containers will help you proceed through the security checkpoint line.  The Grupo Mayan hospitality staff says that the complimentary shampoos and beauty items from hotels are just the perfect size to use when carrying these items on a plane.

Travelers can also prepare to get through the security checkpoint line as they are waiting in line.  Remove your watch, keys, belts, and any other item that will set of the x-ray machines before getting to the head of the line.  By doing this you will be ready to proceed through the x-ray machine without any wait once your reach the head of the line.

The day of the week can also affect the time you spend in security checkpoint lines.  Weekday travelers are predominately business travelers who are experienced at getting through security checkpoint lines as quickly as possible.  The weekends see more pleasure travelers who are not as familiar with the procedures and slow down security checkpoint lines.  If possible, make plans to travel during the week and you can avoid the longer and slower lines.

The Grupo Mayan staff urges travelers to know the airport they will be traveling from.  Some airports require travelers to go through extra security procedures with checked baggage.  If this is a policy at your airport you will want to allow for even more time to complete this check in step.

There is even a way to avoid long checkpoint lines, say our Grupo Mayan professionals.  Several travel programs allow you to register with them to help you speed through the airports.  Once you register you will go through background and security checks and upon acceptance into the program you will be able to precede through the security checkpoint lines with ease.  There is a small fee for this service but for many travelers it is well worth it to avoid long wait times.

The Grupo Mayan staff looks forward to having you as our guests at our luxurious resorts.  We hope that you will find this security checkpoint advice helpful in your travels.

When planning a business conference or meeting with a resort or hotel it is important to understand what you are asking for say the Grupo Mayan experts.  At the Grupo Mayan resorts our professional staff of business planners will work with you to meet your every need.  Conferences held at our world class facilities are always successful and our staff works hard to ensure that everything goes as scheduled. Here are some tips from our planner to help you as you schedule your next meeting.

When scheduling a conference you might here the term one resort, many rooms.  The Grupo Mayan resorts offer many types of rooms for your conference.  Sleeping rooms are the accommodations you will reserve for each person attending your event.  Meeting rooms, banquet rooms, and conference rooms refer to the actual facilities you will use for your meetings and group meals.

One major obligation of a person planning a conference or meeting is room rental.  You will be booking specific meeting rooms and banquet halls for your event.  The room rate is the charge for the meeting and dining facilities you reserve. You will also be booking rooms for attendees. The Grupo Mayan planners can work with you to ensure that blocks of rooms are booked for all of your guests.

Contracts should always be signed after arrangements for you meetings have been planned say the Grupo Mayan pros. This is a term very familiar to business people.  For a conference you will need to obtain an accommodations contract stating the number of rooms you have blocked for your group. You will also want a contract for your meeting facilities and other events you have planned.  Having these documents organized and with you on check in will help in the arrival process of your guests.

It is important to arrange for your guests to get from the airport to the resort.  The Grupo Mayan resorts will arrange transportation to and from local airports for your attendees. We will also work with you to schedule transportation for any tours you would like to schedule for your event.

The business guests at our Grupo Mayan resorts are professional travelers. They are frequent flyers and stay in some of the best hotels in the best cities in the world.  Our Grupo Mayan staff asked our business travelers for travel tips they have picked up from their years of travel.

No matter what city you are in, say many Grupo Mayan guests, research the hotel you will be staying in.  Make sure it is in a good neighborhood and near the activities you have planned.  Hotels in the larger cities are usually located in downtown area and it is important to be familiar with their security measures. A look at the hotel´s website will let you know where the hotel is located and any other info you need.

Business travelers say they enjoy the rewards they get from joining frequent flyer clubs and other reward programs.  If you earl points for business travel, the Grupo Mayan guests tell us, you can use these points for a great family vacation.

The best seats on a plane, say the Grupo Mayan frequent fliers, are located in first class, but the best and most affordable seats are in business class.  Business class passengers will receive many of the amenities of first class passengers and have more room than those in coach.  Also ask at the time of check in if you can upgrade.  For a small fee you will sometimes be able to upgrade to a higher class making your travel more comfortable. On a long trip, say the Grupo Mayan pros, this is important.

Booking all air travel online is another great trick learned from Grupo Mayan business travelers.  Online booking will often offer cheaper flights and allow you to personalize your travel without a lot of hassle.  There are many online booking sites, including the each airlines own site. Our travelers say the best sites are the ones that look for deals from all airlines and give you many choices for travel times and prices.

The Grupo Mayan business travelers say one of the best pieces of advice they can offer you is to plan ahead.  By planning ahead for every contingency you will be prepared when something goes wrong, as it always will. Plan ahead for your travel, for what you need to pack, and what you plan to do while there.  Make sure you have options available if plans are forced to change.  By planning ahead you will have a much less stressful time.

The Grupo Mayan resorts hope the above advice from our business travelers help you no matter where your travel plans take you.  We look forward to seeing you on your next Grupo Mayan vacation. Our luxurious resorts are not only home to many business meetings and conferences.  Our resorts are Mexico´s premier family destination.  We offer the best golf, the best tennis, and the best water sports in the country.  If your husband has visited our resort for a business meeting make sure you plan your next family vacation with us so the whole family can enjoy all we have to offer.

The Grupo Mayan resorts offer world-class business and conference centers to our guests.  Business travelers to Mexico have made the Grupo Mayan resorts the premier meeting and conference resort in the country.  Our business centers and conference facilities offer business travelers state of the art technology and facilities. During free time our business travelers will have the chance to experience all of the wonderful amenities the Grupo Mayan resorts have to offer.  The local communities surrounding our resorts are also perfect for touring and learning about the local culture.

The local people of Mexico are polite, modest, and welcoming.  They are extremely happy to have you visit their country and are excited to share their culture with you.  The history of Mexico is still alive and well in the local Mexican villages.  When visiting the local villages and meeting the native peoples it is important to have an understanding of local manners and customs.

When meeting a Mexican person, as with a person from any culture, it is important to address them respectfully.  In Mexico men should be addressed as “señor” and women as “señora”. By recognizing the proper way to address local people you will show your immediate respect for them. This is important in by personal and business relationships.

The national language of Mexico is Spanish and it is widely spoken throughout the country.  English is also used in the country and the business traveler should have little trouble communicating. While at your Grupo Mayan resort there will be no communication problems but when touring the local villages you might want to carry a pocket phrase book in case an emergency arises and you need to communicate with someone who does not speak English.

Upon greeting one another, Mexican people customarily kiss each other on the cheek.  This air kiss will not be appropriate in your business meetings but do not be shocked when you see others offering kisses to friends and acquaintances. A firm handshake is the appropriate greeting in business situations.

Do not become impatient when on business travel in Mexico.  The Mexican people live a more relaxed lifestyle and it may take business travelers some time to get on “Mexican Time”.  The business traveler must learn to relax.  One of the many positives of Mexican time is the Siesta.  A rest every afternoon is a wonderful tradition. Business travelers should make sure to schedule some down time during their business trip.

No matter where your business takes you it is important to become familiar with the local customs.  It will allow you to appreciate any business trip you may take when you have an understanding of the local people.

Remember that your list needs to provide for travel size toiletry items.  Airline regulations only allow for liquids of three ounces or smaller.  Make sure to add these items to your purchase list so you do not forget to buy these items before your trip.

You might want to make a separate list of “to do” items.  The Grupo Mayan pros tell us that the days before a business trip can become very hectic and you do not want to forget to perform any important tasks before you depart.

The Grupo Mayan business planners hear from many of our guests that the hardest part of business travel is being prepared.  There are many ways to alleviate the stress of business travel and our pros have some advice that will help you be ready for those unplanned business trips.

By keeping a bag packed and in your closet you will be ready to travel at a moment´s notice.  The bag should contain toiletries and clothes, a suit, and shoes.  Many business travelers keep an entire set of travel clothing in their extra suitcase so they can grab it and be out the door to catch their flight.  Be sure to restock any items used during the trip once you return home and take clothing to the dry cleaners.  As soon as you pick it up from the cleaners, say the Grupo Mayan pros, repack your suitcase so it will be ready for next time.

Business travelers find that checking in at airports can be time consuming.  Most airlines offer you the ability to check in online. By doing so you can go straight to security and avoid long check in lines.  The Grupo Mayan staff says there is also a new pass you can get to help you breeze through security. See if you qualify for a Clear security Pass. The Grupo Mayan staff this new pass is now available at many airports.

There is a fee for sign up but think of all the time you will save!  Applications for this pass are available online.

The Grupo Mayan staff urges frequent travelers to join rental car programs so you will not have long waits to get your rental car.  Most companies offer preferred treatment to repeat customers and will bring your rental car to you.  If not planning to rent a car you can arrange for transportation with your hotel.  The Grupo Mayan resorts provide transportation for all of our guests to and from the airports.  Our guests will not be required to rent a car as we will also provide transportation to many of the offsite activities you have planned.

The Grupo Mayan staff knows that business travelers always have the best travel secrets.  Business travelers spend so much time in the air and away from home they are the best insiders to go for travel information.  The Grupo Mayan travel professionals gathered a few tips from our business travelers to make your travel easier.

The first tip from the Grupo Mayan travel pros is to stay in business hotels in large cities.  These hotels are located in the city center and are close to many attractions.  Business hotels drop their rates on the weekends when they are less busy.  This will give the family traveling for pleasure a big savings.

One way that business travelers get good rates is by being loyal to specific companies. Families traveling together can do this also by joining reward clubs offered by most hotels, airlines, and rental car companies.  Reward clubs can offer some big perks to members.  Do an online search to compare reward offers and see what advantages you can find.

Fly all business-class airlines. All business-class airlines do away with competition by offering a whole plane full of roomier seats, enabling the traveler’s schedule to take priority. You’ll pay significantly less, say the Grupo Mayan travel pros, than you would for a business-class or even an economy seat on another airline economy.
If you choose to fly on a traditional airline you should ask about upgrades.  You may be able to get upgrades when it does not look as if the flight will sell out or as a benefit of being a member of the airlines reward program.

If you have racked up reward miles with business travel, a family trip is a great way to use these rewards.  Our Grupo Mayan pros say that it is now very easy to cash in your miles for tickets, and business travelers usually have plenty of miles which they accrue each year.

Upgrades are also available at hotels.  When you arrive for check in make sure to inquire if you qualify for an upgrade.  Many times they are available, say the Grupo Mayan pros, but people do not know to ask for them.
.
One last tried and true trick of the business traveler is to book airline reservations online.  You will save an average of twenty five percent by booking airline tickets online. If you are planning a family vacation this can equal big savings.

No matter where your travels take you the Grupo Mayan staff hopes you have a great time.  We hope that our valued business travelers will consider the Grupo Mayan resorts when making family vacation plans.  Our Grupo Mayan staff will help you plan the perfect family vacation.  We will help you pick the right resort, find the right activities, and assure you get the best price available.  We will also be happy to work with you in scheduling airfare to the Grupo Mayan resort of your choice.
