VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwire – Sept. 9, 2010) - The Mexico Golf Tournament, held on September 8th, drew golfers from the Lower Mainland to celebrate the two hundred year anniversary of Mexico’s independence. The tournament featured the city of Mazatlan and treated participants to a warm day of golf, followed by cocktails and dinner.
The event drew Canadian business leaders with ties to Mexico; as well as travel industry executives from companies such as Westjet that was a main sponsor and Sunwing Vacations.

The city has revitalized its downtown core, and has a lot of adventure as well as culture, golf, tennis and deep-sea fishing,” said Graeme Frank, Director of Western Canada Sales for Sunwing.
Golfers experienced a glimpse of Mazatlan’s style through food, music and by meeting the Queens of Mazatlan’s Mardigras. View photos of the event here.
