PUBLISHER SHOWS TRAVELERS THE GOOD IN BAJA

MAYTÉ RODRÍGUEZ CEDILLO IS ABOUT TO LAUNCH HER SECOND MEXICAN TOURISM PUBLICATION MexicoTraveler™️

Working from her Rancho San Miguel home office, Mayté Rodríguez Cedillo strives to promote all that is positive about traveling in Baia California and Baia California Sur. She is in her seventh year as publisher and editor of BajaTraveler®, an internationally circulated publication she founded.

BajaTraveler® is a full-color glossy magazine published annually. Translated into six languages, it has a press run of 100,000+ copies. The first publication has been so successful that by 4th quarter Rodríguez expects to have launched her newest project, MexicoTraveler™️. “I got tired of hearing negative things about my country,” says Rodríguez, who is from Tijuana. BajaTraveler® was her positive answer to that negativity, and now she over- sees a staff of about 15, including free- lancers.

BajaTraveler®, is distributed as an in-flight magazine by AeroMexico Airlines, (premier class) inside the guestrooms of prestigious hotels throughout Baja and is also distributed and sold throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and parts of Europe, South America and Asia. As might be expected, her strongest circulation is in Southern California and Baja California.

BajaTraveler® has received accolades from the directors of the Mexican Government Tourism Offices throughout the tourism world.

Before starting BajaTraveler®, Rodriguez had a career in television journalism. Out of college, she did an internship at KGTV Channel 10 and then started working there as an interpreter and TV reporter in San Diego and then moved to NBC4 in Burbank and stayed for four years. After that she spent a year as a correspondent in Spain.

Rodríguez earned her bachelor’s degree at San Diego State University and her master’s at the University of California at Los Angeles. Now, in addition to considerable travel, she is active in the San Diego Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, San Diego Dialogue, the San Diego World Trade Center, International Co munity Foundation, Pro Peninsula Organization, San Diego World Trade Center, Press Club and ConVis.
