## Article

Civitatis is moving fast. It just **signed alliances with Despegar and Almundo**, two of the biggest distributors in the continent, to speed up its Latin America expansion. According to [Hosteltur](https://www.hosteltur.com/177360_civitatis-acelera-en-latinoamerica-firma-con-almundo-y-pone-el-radar-en-las-aerolineas.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=civitatis-acelera-en-latinoamerica-firma-con-almundo-y-pone-el-radar-en-las-aerolineas), CEO Andrés Spitzer highlights that Mexico is already their **second most important market**, only behind Spain.

The platform has **60,000 partners**, half of them in Latin America. And they are not stopping there: they have already landed in loyalty programs like **GOL Smiles**, which adds 25 miles per dollar spent on activities. The next step, according to the same source, is to **close deals with more airlines** in the region.

- **Despegar and Almundo** as distribution channels.
- **Mexico**, a priority market.
- **Mileage programs** as a new customer acquisition tool.

Civitatis is playing smart: instead of competing head-on with big OTAs, they are plugging into their ecosystem. If they manage to add airlines, the distribution plus loyalty combo could be a game changer.
