I am still on my Mexico kick, I have a soft spot for great destinations that are getting unfair treatment. Over the next couple of days I am going to be featuring a couple of FAM Trips that are taking place in Mexico.
A friend and fellow Site Chicago Board Member asked if I could spread the word and I am more than happy to shout from the roof tops, especially for amazing destinations that really need the support of the Meetings and Events Industry.
Here is the first FAM that I would like to clue you in on, this trip takes place November 12-16, 2011:
“A new way of doing business in Paradise for meeting and incentive travel professionals” is how they are billing this one. Here is what the invitation has to say:
We have been working very hard in the past years to develop the perfect destination for your convention, congress or incentive trip. With the best air connections in Latinamerica and the Caribbean, more than 25,000 rooms, 40,000 m2 of state of the art meeting space, all of this in the middle of pristine beaches, mayan archaeological sites and natural wonders.
Register to this amazing trip, get the best connections in the destination and the tools you may need to plan amazing events in Riviera Maya.
Warm regards
Dario Flota, CEO
Riviera Maya Destination Marketing Office

Please know that this is not advertising, this is not paid and I receive no compensation for letting you guys know about these FAMS, I just think that every meeting and incentive planner that can, should seriously consider Mexico for their next program.
