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

Meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) have turned their attention to the Caribbean. Organizing a professional engagement in paradise is all the more alluring when combined with modern amenities, team building activities and “bleisure” plans. It’s a unique opportunity to discover new horizons, draw inspiration from the tropical climate and close deals against the backdrop of one Jamaica’s idyllic sunsets.

Facilities for every need

The boom in business trips to Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica has arrived alongside a wave of new conference centers that can satisfy all kinds of requirements. The Iberostar Paraíso Convention Center in the Riviera Maya has the capacity to host events for up to 1,200 people. Each meeting room is fully equipped with the latest technology and can be tailored to meet the unique needs of every event.

“Bleisure” hotels

Likewise, many hotels now have specific areas apt to host any type of gathering—from a small committee meeting in the hotel in Puerto Plata Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada’s lounges, to a big presentation in the hotel in Jamaica Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites’ auditorium in Montego Bay. They perfectly complement the modern guest rooms and restaurants, together creating a comfortable, intimate and unique experience.

Resorts with luxurious details

Everything is at your fingertips in these luxury hotels: restaurants, private beaches, infinity pools, spas and other entertaining activities to help you disconnect from work. The well-kept rooms, internet access, business centers and fully equipped gyms mean that you can seamlessly continue your work routine away from home.

Tropical team building

A change of scenery can both provide a fresh start for your work and help you build strong bonds with your colleagues. Jamaica’s wild untouched nature is often marketed as an incentive for team-building activities in unique enclaves. There’s no better way to bond than by wrapping up a conference in the spacious venues of Iberostar Selection Cancún and searching for treasure among Mayan ruins, or taking a master class at the Cinnamon Hill golf course to top off a big event at Montego Bay.

Culture and cuisine

Discovering new cultures can spark fascinating conversations between meetings. 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—for example, by learning to make tacos or smoothies.
