    The Caribbean typically evokes images of palm-and-sand-fringed islands bright with sunlight. Yet the Caribbean Sea lolls against the mainland shores of North America, Central America and South America, touching nearly every nation from Mexico to Venezuela. The presence of the sparkling Caribbean gives these countries such visitor appeal, but that’s only half the story. With the exception of Belize and Venezuela, all of the Caribbean mainland countries have a coastline on the Pacific Ocean, resulting in a remarkable diversity of ecosystems and cultural and historical influences.

Destination Description

Simply saying the word “Mexico” would bring to mind images of glittering shorelines, exotic scenery, lush wildlife and adrenaline-pumping adventures—all of which have put Mexico on the meetings, as well as leisure, destination map. And while in close proximity to the U.S., Mexico has a wonderfully rich culture of its own, shaped with its unique history and geography. Enhancing the visitor experience, it’s complemented with diverse architecture, colorful local traditions and mouth-watering cuisine. Then there’s Mexico’s famous sunny skies and warm weather year-round, which have made it a popular refuge in the winter.

Mexico is as attractive a destination as ever, with all of its allure still intact. Anyone who has traveled to Mexico can tell you that Mexican hospitality is reason enough to meet here. Beyond the genuine service and a bona fide effort to make visitors feel welcome, however, Mexico also gives planners other reasons to take their meetings south.
