When venturing to a destination as culturally rich as the Riviera Maya, trying its local cuisine is...
Traveling seems like a distant dream these days. The COVID-19 contingency is still in force in many countries including Mexico, where measures are being taken to prevent the spread of the virus. The news about patients recovering in China is a sign that soon that country will return to its normal life. Like China, every country will open its doors and the quarantine will finish. COVID-19 will have passed and the opportunity of traveling will be latent.
After the contingency, the impact of COVID-19 on the economy will be the main theme on the table. For that reason, we, as citizens, no mattering what country we are from, must do our part since now by consuming locally. The faster the economy recovers, the sooner we can travel.
The store in your neighborhood, the people who sell in your nearest market, the local companies, the entrepreneurs, the farmers who send supplies. Every one of them is a fundamental part of the economic system; therefore, we must support them by consuming and promoting their products.
Consuming local is a way to reactivate the economic activity, create new jobs and fortify local brand. In consequence, the region is revitalized and the country's economy becomes stronger.
When planning your next trip, think about local travel agencies; consider hotels and residences in your destination country. Also, buy products and crafts produced in the region, visit markets, ask about local restaurants and cultural events that are promoted in the place you visit. In that way, you will continue to support the economy.
Meanwhile, keep following the instructions of the government and health authorities. Protect your health and that of your family. Follow all the sanitary measures and stay informed. Remember that as soon as the situation improves, you will be ready to make your next trip. The Riviera Maya and Happy Address will be waiting for you.
