Yucatan Holidays designed a quirky-looking package on their website that resembles the Facebook layout. The design of the deal page includes Facebook comments and likes from Captain Jack Sparrow, Marty McFly, Homer Simpson, and Chuck Norris.
The travel agency is on the cutting-edge of using innovative social media campaigns and techniques. Such as their weekly YH Quick Getaway which invites their fans to win a vacation to Cancun every week.

Yucatan Holidays is also a strong proponent of sustainable tourism, providing unique vacation packages that feature remarkable cultural and environmental education experiences for travelers. These authentic cultural vacations in the Yucatan Peninsula support local communities, indigenous populations, and the natural environment.
