WHAT CONVENTION FACILITIES DOES MEXICO NOW OFFER TO U.S. MEETING PROFESSIONALS?
We have 57 convention centers. Of course, the principal ones are in the large cities of Guadalajara, Cancun, Monterrey and Mexico City. We also have emerging convention center destinations in Veracruz, Puebla, Chihuahua and León; those cities are really ready to receive middle-size conventions of up to 1,000 persons. We have to be aware of the balance between airlift, square-foot-area and hotel capacity. I’m almost sure Mérida, León, Puebla, Chihuahua and Veracruz are ready to go into the association international meeting market, but 1,000 would be the most they could handle. Whereas in Cancun, Monterrey or Guadalajara we can have 3,000 to 4,000 people. Among the new projects is one in Acapulco. In early 2008, we will have a brand new facility in the Diamonte area near the airport. The Mundo Imperial will not only be a convention center, but also will emcompass a commercial center, hotel, golf course and expo facility.
