TOURISM
Golfing in warmer climes

For the first time in history, a PGA tournament was held outside of U.S. and Canadian soil. The stunning beauty of a new golf course and the powers of conviction of OHL’s directors combined to convince the PGA to make a delightful exception. In February of 2007, the first Mayakoba Classic took place at the Fairmont Mayakoba Resort, located in the Mayan Riviera, just 42 kilometers south of Cancun. The world’s most important golf circuit will now dip down south of the border for the next six years, giving world renowned golfers the chance to tee up for prizes on the exciting new Greg Norman designed course, El Camaleón, which OHL Mexico's CEO José Andrés de Oteyza describes as "spectacular, impressive and emblematic." ‘The Chameleon’ is a well-suited name for this course that offers several challenges, a result of the natural features of the landscape.

OHL was responsible for the promotion and building of the Fairmont Mayakoba, which boasts infinity pools, several bars and lounges, three world-class restaurants, a spa and 401 guest rooms, ranging from elegant hotel rooms located in the main building to beach and lagoon casitas. 40,000 square feet of meeting space and the 18-hole golf course complete this 45-acre luxury complex.
