Corporate Travel Destinations

It is not without reason that Cancun is known worldwide as a preferred resort destination. There's something for everyone in this tropical seaside vacation spot. Located on Mexico's eastern shores in the state of Quintana Roo, Cancun is a top pick for corporate travel planners who are looking for a temperate climate, sandy beaches and an active night life. Approximately 4 million visitors come every year to enjoy the area in 24,000 hotel rooms and dine in over 380 restaurants. Corporate travelers from the colder regions to the north especially appreciate the warm winter weather with average highs of 82°F in December. There's no better way to beat the winter blahs than a visit to this tropical retreat.

Urban legend would tell us that the location for Cancun was selected by computers. The fact is that a team of researchers worked to locate and select the city's ideal location. Modern day Cancun is the final result of a 1967 feasibility study conducted by Banco de México. Failing to locate enough private investors, the Mexican Government had to finance the first nine hotels. From those humble beginnings Cancun has grown to become a world-renowned tourist resort. Along with the many resort and vacation facilities, Cancun offers excellent venues for corporate meetings and events.

Beautiful Acapulco has been attracting visitors since the Spanish arrived in the early 1500's.  For more than 200 years, the city's geography provided an ideal haven for Spanish galleons loaded with precious cargo, which prompted an annual merchant fair.  It's a tradition that has continued, with the city playing host to many large conferences at meeting hotels and the Acapulco Convention Center, which features more than 180,000 sq.ft. of total event space.

Acapulco is the original Mexican resort, linked to the Hollywood jet set of the 1950's and '60's, and still features a vibrant nightlife. 

Acapulco is still one of the exotic and popular corporate travel destinations that your incentive trip winners will love.
