Too bad you couldn’t stay a few more weeks;
One month from now, November 18 - 21, Cozumel will play host for the first time to "Expo Tequila" which brings together 40 - 50 tequila manufacturers from all over Mexico to exhibit and sell their products. Normally the event has been hosted in the city of Solidaridad but has been relocated to Cozumel in order coincide with tourism associated with IRONMAN activities.
According to the QRoo Secretary of Economic Developement, Bello Melchor Rodriguez Carrillo, the exhibition will serve to encourage tourism and commercial activity as it brings together tequila manufacturers with potential buyers on the island such as restaurants, bars and hotels who might not otherwise be exposed to the products. Tourists staying in hotels will enjoy the several day event as well locals since in addition to tequila samplings, there will be food samplings, a fair and local artensanias displaying their wares. This year will be especially spectacular since there will also be a Centennial Celebration of the Mexican Revolution as well."
