Cancun Center, Conventions & Exhibitions

Cancun Center

In September, the World Travel Awards North & Central America awarded a prize to the Cancun Center, Conventions & Exhibitions, naming it the best convention center in Mexico and Central America.

Some still see us as a leisure destination, yet our infrastructure is ideally suited to meetings and conventions of all sizes, says Daniela Martinez, groups and conventions manager for the Cancun Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The prestigious awards have been called the Oscars of the Travel Industry by The Wall Street Journal.

The 154,000-square-foot Cancun Center in the heart of the hotel zone can accommodate 8,000 simultaneous attendees; its 13 meeting rooms can be divided into 37 breakout rooms, yielding 75,350 sq. ft. of meeting space.

In addition, the center offers 78,000 sq. ft. of exhibition space, spanning two levels.

To recognize the importance of meeting and convention travelers, who bring in more than 51-million U.S. dollars to the destination each year, the CVB has extended its popular discount card for another year.

The average visitor to Cancun with a group or convention stays four days and three nights and spends $1,250 per person or 30 percent more than the average individual visitor.

The cards provide significant savings at more than 140 participating restaurants, jewelry stores, other retailers, golf courses, and other travel-related companies within Cancun and nearby Puerto Morelos.
