    Business trips The advantages of organizing your event or conference in the Caribbean

    Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) have set their sights on the Caribbean. The appeal of hosting a professional event in this paradise combines with other strong reasons such as modern facilities, team-building activities, and bleisure programs. And of course, it’s a unique opportunity to explore new horizons, find inspiration in tropical settings, and ultimately seal a deal against an idyllic sunset in Jamaica.

    <p>Facilities for every need</p> <p>The boom in business trips to Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica has arrived alongside<strong> a wave of new conference centers that can satisfy all kinds of requirements. </strong>The <a href="https://www.iberostar.com/en/hotels/riviera-maya/iberostar-paraiso-beach/events/convention-center" target="_blank">Iberostar Para&iacute;so Convention Center</a> in the Riviera Maya has the capacity to<strong> host events for up to 1,200 people. </strong>Each meeting room is fully equipped with the latest technology and can be tailored to meet the unique needs of every event.</p>

    Facilities for everyone

    The boom in business travel to Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica has gone hand in hand with the development of congress centers built to meet any need. A prime example is the Iberostar Paraíso Convention Center in Riviera Maya, a stand-alone venue with capacity to host events and meetings for up to 1,200 people across fully modular rooms equipped with comprehensive technology.

    Tropical team building

    A change of scenery can transform not only the work at hand but also strengthen bonds with colleagues. The wild nature of countries like Jamaica is often positioned as an incentive for team-building activities in unique settings. There’s nothing like pairing a convention in the spacious halls of Iberostar Selection Cancún with a treasure hunt at a Mayan ruin, or adding a golf master class at Cinnamon Hill to a major event in Montego Bay.

    <h2>Culture and cuisine</h2> <p><strong>Discovering new cultures can spark fascinating conversations between meetings.</strong> And when cultures collide in the kitchen, the result is not only delicious, but also a unique opportunity to build relationships outside of the work environment&mdash;for example, by <strong>learning to make tacos</strong> <strong>or smoothies.</strong> Only in the Caribbean!</p>

    Culture and gastronomy

    Getting to know this culture can spark valuable conversations between negotiations. When this blend of influences reaches the kitchen, the outcome is not only delicious but also a perfect excuse to organize taco-making classes or smoothie workshops that offer an original incentive and strengthen relationships outside the workplace. Something that can only happen in one place: the Caribbean.
