Funjet Vacations Takes Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders to Calendar Photo Shoot in Riviera Maya, Mexico
MILWAUKEE, May 16, 2007 – Funjet Vacations will be jetting off from Dallas/Fort Worth tomorrow with a plane full of some of the icons from the area - the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. The Cheerleaders are headed to the Riviera Maya, Mexico for the 2008 calendar photo shoot.
Funjet Vacations has partnered with Iberostar Hotels & Resorts to provide the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders with all of their travel needs during their time in Mexico. The Cheerleaders are departing Thursday, May 17 for seven nights at the all-inclusive Iberostar Paraiso Maya.
"The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders represent not only the spirit and heart of Texans, but have national appeal, and we are pleased to work with them again this year," said Ray Snisky, president of Funjet Vacations. "The Cheerleaders are headed to the most popular destination for Dallas vacationers - the Riviera Maya. This destination offers a perfect tropical backdrop of sun, sand and beauty for the 2008 calendar."
"We are so excited to work with Funjet Vacations and Iberostar again this year. After 14 years of shooting this project this is by far our favorite and most scenic location. The breathtaking sunsets and hospitality truly make Riviera Maya unique," said Kelli Finglass, director of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. "We are looking forward to this year's project being the best one yet."
The Riviera Maya, located approximately 30 miles south of Cancun, is a key destination for Funjet Vacations. The area is a scenic stretch of coastline, and boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in Mexico. One of the best is Maroma Beach, a wide, long and isolated beach, hidden from the hustle and bustle of the resort areas. In addition, the Riviera Maya maintains its connection to its ancient Mayan roots. Several Mayan ruins remain in place today, including one of the most famous in Tulum.
Located along a stunning stretch of white-sand beach, the picturesque Iberostar Paraiso Maya resort captures the flavor of its historic Mayan location with rich architectural details, including an authentic Mexican temple. The resort offers 432 spacious suites, all-inclusive food and beverage, non-stop activities and entertainment, world-class golf, state-of-the art spa facilities and five-star treatment for those savvy travelers who demand the finest in accommodations and amenities.
