From the ancient civilizations of the Aztecs and Maya to the colonial influences of Spain, you can see layers of history in its architecture, art, and traditions.

Tacos, tamales, mole, and guacamole are just a few examples of the rich and varied dishes that reflect Mexico's regional diversity and use of local ingredients.

Other festivals like Cinco de Mayo and Guelaguetza showcase Mexican pride and traditions. Art and Craftsmanship: Mexican art is a blend of indigenous and European influences. From pre-Columbian artifacts to iconic artists like Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Mexico's art scene is vibrant and expressive.

Mexican folk dances, like the Jarabe Tapatío (Mexican Hat Dance), are a celebration of rhythm, color, and tradition. Languages: Mexico is home to a rich linguistic diversity, with Spanish being the official language. However, indigenous languages like Nahuatl, Maya, and Zapotec are still spoken by many. Religious Practices: Catholicism is the dominant religion, and you'll find a blend of indigenous beliefs with Catholic traditions, particularly evident during religious festivals and ceremonies. Handicrafts: Mexico's handicrafts, from textiles and ceramics to jewelry and pottery, showcase a fusion of indigenous techniques and designs with colonial influences.

Many thanks for all your comments regarding trains - this is turning into quite a fascinating little topic, one worthy of a little more attention (and train rides). Here are some things I learned (with some links in the comments). 1. Does anyone have any info on the 1990s Osijek to Split Disco Train? Back in the 90’s there used to be a regular daily service between Osijek-Split via Zagreb called ‘Disco Vlak’ operating in summer months. We’d board a train before midnight in Osijek, got our seat, got someone to look after our belongings and head towards the carriage with a bar and music to dance to. Going to Split on that train was like a night out and we didn’t even noticed the long ride. This was somewhat recreated for the Ultra Europe Festival - link in the comments. Would love to know more about the original disco train. 2. There has been no train between Zagreb and Belgrade for 4 years now - how bonkers is that? Link to news report in the comments. 3. Austrian railways have apparently frustrated at the performance of Croatian railways and have gone from two daily EuroCity trains to Frankfurt and Vienna to now just feeder trains to Villach and Graz. Article link in comments. 4. And a super cool suggestion which I really like. Erdut is a great wine region, with some great tasting experiences. When it is not a foggy day, it is also beautiful and there are good views of the vineyards. So why not set up an Erdut wine tasting tour from Osijek, starting and ending with a civilised 70-minute intro on the train? Love it, IJ (not sure if you want to be tagged). Turn the negative into a positive. Keep your comments and suggestions coming.

Specialty events as part of your overall tourism plan can be a huge promoter or a huge detractor to your focus and energy. Looking to what is already unique and wonderful about your destination is a great jumping off point to your special event or festival. Be unique, be interesting, and above all, be yourself! For example, Fall Festivals are a popular but also a dime a dozen but if you already have people coming to your area for antiques or historic buildings, then combine the two. Historic fall festivals can capture the hearts and minds of a wide audience, while also promoting visitors to return to your area time and again. ------- Follow: @Triformative Follow: @Triformative Follow: @Triformative ------- #marketingstrategist #marketingteam #marketingmanager #TonyaSweetser #TriFormative #marketingtip #marketingmind #marketingservices #marketingadvice #marketingexpert #marketingcoach #businessconsultant #businessconsulting
