With more than 30 years of experience in the media, a passionate writer, and 15 years dedicated to organizing culinary events, Consuelo has worked with hotels, states, and countries, focusing on the gastronomic and tourism fields and her passion for organizing events.

Together with Consuelo, they created a business group dedicated to gastronomic and tourist consultancy. Their work jointly has led VNG to be a globally recognized event.

The birth of VNG

The Project arises at a crucial moment during the H1N1 pandemic in Mexico. At that time, a decrease in the quality of culinary and tourist services in the region was noted.
