Cancun Named Top Group Destination

Cancun Center wins the “World Travel Awards North & Central America” as the best convention center of Mexico and Central America.

In the fall of 2008, the World Travel Awards North & Central America awarded a prize to the Cancun Center, Conventions & Exhibitions, as the best convention center of Mexico and Central America, as a result of the direct vote of thousands of travel professionals and specialists from all over the world.

The “World Travel Awards” have been given out since 15 years ago to acknowledge the best of the travel industry. This is such a prestigious distinction that The Wall Street Journal has described it as “The Oscars of the Travel Industry”. The main offices of the organization are in London. They carry out six events annually in different places worldwide: Europe, South America, Asia, Africa and Oceania, apart from the aforementioned awards given out this year in Orlando, Florida. The event had wide media coverage, which included the BBC London.

The event was attended by the Mexican delegation, headed by Javier Gámez, CEO of the Cancun Center, and Vicky Marmolejo, Commercial Director. It is important to mention the presence of Gastón Ramos, General Director of the Congresses and Conventions Office of the Mexican Tourism Promotion Bureau, as a special guest of the Cancun Center to celebrate this great event.

In an interview granted by Executives of the Cancun Center they expressed that they received this award as the representatives of the 35 companies allied with the City Wide Events Program Cancun, with whom they have formed a strong working team, with enough vision to invest valuable resources in promoting the great attractions and advantages of the destination, thus converting it in a great host of world class congresses.

Also, they underlined the work of the investors that had the vision and commitment to risk their capital in this business; the labour of the suppliers who fulfilled their work as the first link; of the professional organizers of congresses, of the meeting planners and of the clients, who trusted them and carried out their events with them and, of course, of their colleagues that make possible the daily delivery of a quality service, allowing them carrying out memorable and successful events.

Among the achievements of the Cancun Center we find, apart from those assessed by the WTA voters, the first place as a place gaining international congresses registered by the ICCA (International Congress & Convention Association) during 2006 and 2007 in México, Central and South America, and the increasing number of confirmed congresses for years 2009 to 2014.

Although it is not a specialized exhibition site and that the economical potential of Cancun is not similar to that of the large capitals, Cancun Center has carried out over 20 specialized exhibitions standing out the following: Expo Hotel, Meeting Place Caribbean, Cancun Travel Mart, Deconarq Expo Construcción, Mercado Inmobiliario Turísico; and soon some other international shows such as Expo Franchising Latin America, World Art Vision, ISSA Interclean Latinamerica and Luxury Travel Expo will be carried out. The service and commitment to success have been the differentiators allowing the Cancun Center to be competitive in the field of business specialized exhibitions.

Its model, a business net with companies and professional organizers of events, has and will continue to bear fruits as a source of foreign currency for our Country, but will also continue offering a quality space to celebrate the most important national congresses and events.

Today the projects of the Cancun Center are many, but always with one priority: continue being an extension of each of the organizing committees that put their trust in this place, to achieve a successful celebration of what they consider to be the most important event.
