Selling the Mexican Caribbean is about a LOT more than finding a pretty all-inclusive resort.
In this episode of Passports, Profits, and Pixie Dust, I’m joined by Lori Gold, creator of Mexperts and a travel industry veteran who has spent more than 10 years living in the Mexican Caribbean.
We’re talking about what travel advisors really need to know to confidently sell Mexico—from qualifying clients and understanding resort areas to getting firsthand destination experience and choosing a niche you’re genuinely passionate about.
In this episode:
- How Lori became a Mexican Caribbean specialist
- Why Mexico can be more complicated to sell than advisors realize
- Questions to ask before recommending an all-inclusive resort
- How different areas of the Mexican Caribbean compare
- Common mistakes advisors make when matching clients with resorts
- How to get the most from resort site inspections
- Talking to clients about safety, weather, and hurricane season
- Why firsthand destination experience matters
- How passion can help you choose—and succeed in—a travel niche
- What Lori offers travel advisors through Mexperts
One of my favorite takeaways? If you want to become known as an expert, you have to be willing to become obsessed with what you sell.
Learn it. Experience it. Stay current on it. And become the person your clients trust because you know the details they can't find in a quick Google search.

About Lindsay: Lindsay is a travel agency owner, podcast host, high school Spanish teacher, dog mama to Bella, and Disney lover! She lives in Ohio with her younger sister and their rescue dog (from Puerto Rico), Bella.

She started in business in network marketing in 2016. Needing an outlet to feel fulfilled after her mom passed away from a nearly 17 year battle with breast cancer in 2015, she quickly found that she was obsessed with helping other women also grow their businesses, and her coaching business very organically grew from her success in her own business and helping others on her team. She started this podcast in 2020 to share not only her own business advice and tips as she's on the journey herself, but also to interview other motivational women to share with YOU ! Additionally, she has always loved Disney, and one of the things she does is work as a travel agent who specializes in Disney and cruises. So, it was very natural for her to add her Disney-inspired branding into her business coaching, and the rest is history!
