#1 Easy accEss
México is next door, sharing the border with California, Arizona and Texas. “Today’s incentives and business meetings average four days,” says AnnaCeleste Brenner, West Coast regional marketing director for Cancún-based Tropical Incentives, Inc. “México is only three hours from most U.S. cities, while it takes all day to get to Hawaii or Europe.” Hundreds of direct flights connect U.S. cities with México’s top destinations every day and it’s also easy to get to via ground transportation from certain American cities. (See more about this in the “Here and There” chapter located on page 12.)
México offers 5 major advantages for meeting planners looking for the right fit for their group—and their budget.
#2 cost savings
“I’m looking for great value and México is unbeatable,” enthuses Stephanie Starr, CMP, meetings and promotions manager for Boston-based Pioneer Investments. “Compared to Florida, the Caribbean, Hawaii—Cancún, hands down, has the best value,” she says. “Planners save from 10 to 50 percent on programs in México,” says Brenner. Why? “Food and beverage, labor and gasoline costs are so much cheaper in México,” she says. “México provides excellent value, with top quality food, service and resorts,” agrees Amy Fay, incentive planner with Minneapolisbased Events Solutions.
