Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - As part of Tianguis Turistico 2013, held last week in Puebla, Mexico, MLT Vacations announced an increase in its airline partners' non-stop service, as well as the addition of new resorts to its Mexico product offerings.

Elizabeth Moriarty, MLT's vice president for product development, filled us in on the news. "Delta Air Lines will be flying daily from Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta. Historically, this flight was offered just once a week, but as of July 1st it will be offered daily."

"Mexico's Pacific side needs our support," she says. "We are launching aggressive sales initiatives to increase demand."

Delta will also be adding non-stop flights from LA to Guadalajara and Aeromexico has added four summer non-stop flights from Los Angeles to Cancun and Huatulco.

The new resorts added to the product offerings are the Valentin Imperial Maya and the Luxury Bahia Principe Sian Kaán in Riviera Maya. Both properties are adults only and will be available for booking as of April 30th. They are offered through Delta Vacations, United Vacations, and Aeromexico Vacations.
