For many, tourism is just an industry; for Hector 'Kala’ Zapata, it is an art. His journey into the world of travel was not planned but rather happened spontaneously—like an adventure that begins with simple curiosity and transforms into something extraordinary. With a background in Interior Design, his first encounter with tourism was by chance when he started working at a travel agency. However, what began as a professional opportunity soon became an unstoppable passion that led him to establish Tripping Cool, a company that has redefined how destinations are explored.
The Beginning of Tripping Cool: From an Idea to a Global Concept
Tripping Cool is not just about offering trips; it is about designing experiences that allow travelers to immerse themselves in the local culture and truly connect with each destination. From its early days in Cozumel, the company has expanded its reach, solidifying its presence across various regions of Mexico, including Cozumel and Progreso, Yucatán. It also operates in the Cayman Islands under Anchor Tours DBA Tripping Cool and has further extended its footprint to Puerto Rico and key destinations in Europe, including Lisbon, Ibiza, Valencia, Bilbao, Marseille, Nice, Toulon, and Cannes—reinforcing its reputation as a leader in luxury and culturally immersive tourism.
A Company with Soul: The Culture of Tripping Cool
For Hector 'Kala’ Zapata, Tripping Cool is not just a business—it is a family. The key to its success lies in the team, a group of individuals who share the same passion for traveling and discovering the world. Unlike traditional companies, Tripping Cool does not hire based solely on résumés but rather on the dedication and enthusiasm of those who want to be part of the project.
This approach has allowed each team member to play an active role in creating unforgettable experiences, delivering genuine hospitality that travelers have praised on platforms like TripAdvisor. Reviews consistently highlight the warm, personalized service and the welcoming atmosphere that make every journey special.
More Than Travel, Representing the World
Hector 'Kala’ Zapata sees tourism as a tool for celebrating the world’s cultural diversity. Each trip is an opportunity to share and represent the richness of different communities, from their gastronomy and traditions to the stories that define their identity. His commitment to this philosophy has allowed Tripping Cool to expand organically while ensuring that every new destination remains authentic and respectful of its unique heritage.
His participation in international events, such as Climate Week NYC 2024, demonstrates his dedication to shaping the future of tourism—one that balances exploration with social and environmental responsibility.
The Future of Tripping Cool and Hector 'Kala’ Zapata’s Vision
With a business model that prioritizes authenticity over commercial expansion, Tripping Cool continues to grow, bringing its vision to new regions and establishing itself as a leader in experiential tourism. For Héctor, the future of the company is not about expanding without limits but about preserving the essence that makes it unique: a passion for travel, respect for cultures, and the ability to turn a destination into an unforgettable experience.
Traveling is not just about moving from one place to another; it is about taking a piece of every destination with you and leaving a mark along the way. With this vision, Hector 'Kala’ Zapata and Tripping Cool continue to inspire travelers worldwide to experience tourism in a truly different way.
