Episode Description
In this inspiring and adventure-filled episode, Elisabeth sits down with Kay Honig, a man whose life has been shaped by curiosity, courage, and an unshakeable passion for travel.
Kay began his professional journey in Holland, working in a flower import–export company.

That vision became Kay Tours Mexico, a private luxury tour company in Cancun that he built from the ground up. What started as a one-man operation has grown into one of the leading tour companies in the Riviera Maya, powered by exceptional service, smart automation, and a team culture centred on integrity and excellence.
