We have been asked to run a Grappling event in Cancun, Mexico at an all inclusive resort.
The price for the trip including airfare, hotel, all meals, open bar ranges from $1,200 to $1,500 per person (depending on where you are flying in from).
Grapplers and their family friends would fly into Cancun on Wed, January 19th and stay until January 26th2005. The event would be on Friday January 21st.
Our question:
Is this something you guys would do for $1,500 as early as January of next year?
When paying for all inclusive it is very important, For instances if it was the club med there, probably not it is to far away from everything the food was bad and it was hard to get served drinks at night, most time was spent off the compound.
IThe price is reasonable, if you have super fights, perhaps each day a competitor could give an hour or so seminar,so all week would be grappling, but for me a lot would depend on the facilities.
Thats the reason to go, you had the holidays which 99% of the time turn to sh!t, you are obligated up the @ss, plus all the other hassles of life an d not a break till may.
Anyway most people file their tax returns by the end of jan anyway if u have $ coming to u use it.
1500.00 is not alot to give U some joy.
Tequila,sol, cerveza, camarones ( con pelos )and camaradas not a bad way to spend a week.
Plus i have this cousin that can ................. well tu sabes.
I've had good experiences at the Club Med there, so that would be a positive, not a negative to me. I never felt it was that far from everything. Nothing that I wanted to get to was more than 15 or 20 minutes from Club Med and the whole idea of the all inclusive places is that just about everything you could want is right there, pool, beach, water sports, restaurants, night life, etc. On the other hand, if that's the only way to do the competition- staying that many days, open only to those staying at that particular resort, whichever it is, and offering only one day of competition, and no seminar's or formal training classes on the other days, well, I think that would have limited appeal, but certainly still attractive to some. Others, with limited funds to gamble, might be more likely to want to wait and hear the reports on the event, and then maybe plan for it in the future if it becomes an annual thing.
