 Located on the Pacific coast to the west and the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range to the east, the Mexican seaport of Mazatlan lies at the entrance to the beautiful Sea of Cortez, one of the most stunning and productive seas worldwide. Also known as the Gulf of California, its islands have recently been declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Mazatlan is a perfect option for hosting a bird festival in western Mexico where in short time and distance, ecosystems range from vast coastal wetlands, rolling hills of thorn scrub, tropical forest and the pine oak forested canyons of the Sierra Madre Occidental with elevations of more than 8000ft.

Tourists and birders have been visiting Mazatlan for over 60 years in growing numbers, lured by it’s white sand beaches, offshore islands, interesting bird species, friendly people and legendary relaxed nature. This vibrant lovely city also has one of the only seaside historical centers in Mexico, where a significant cultural renaissance has taken place thanks in part to the rebirth of the beautiful Angela Peralta Theatre where world class cultural and musical events are held the whole year.  Mazatlan’s busy port welcomes cruise ships and commercial cargo and is home to the largest shrimp and tuna fleets in Latin America.

The Mazatlan Bird Festival is an excellent opportunity to meet fellow birders, see fantastic birds, learn on the importance and abundance of birdlife in Mexico’s northwest, attend conferences and see exhibits all the while enjoying a birding vacation in Mexico’s coastal city of Mazatlan.

 As a result of a joined effort between the Cancun  CVB and the Mexico Tourism Board, the city of Cancun has been chosen between 12  other destinations to host Meeting Professionals International’s (MPI) 2010 edition of MeetDifferent, a premier industry event formerly known as MPI PEC.  MPI’s board of directors made the decision, arguing that Cancun offers all the conveniences of a meetings destination.

This will be the first time the event takes place outside the United States and Canada and will be attended by 2000 guests including 900 meeting planers. In this special ocassion, MPI brings to Cancun its diverse network of planners and suppliers to share innovative ideas and expertise to make effective connections with the industry community. An event of this importance enables Cancun to showcase its superb infrastructure, resources and business potential in the meetings and conventions industry.

This is another  historic achievement recently obtained by Cancun,  a destination that day after day becomes more competitive in the meetings  industry. Earlier this year, Cancun hosted the initial phase of the CASE certification provided by PCMA experts to Cancun sales executives, being the first time that this famed certification takes place outside the United States. Also in April, Cancun hosted the 7th Annual Mexico Showcase and Travel Expo and the PCMA Education Foundation Partnership Summit  in May.  It is worth mentioning that the Cancun Center was named The Best Convention Center in Mexico and Central America  by the World Travel Awards. These are some of the reasons why Cancun is the perfect Group Travel Destination.
