Mexico’s Mazatlán Emerges as MICE Destination

Mazatlán, the Mexican beach destination on the Pacific Coast, has established itself as an international destination for incentives, meetings, congresses and conventions. The city offers modern infrastructure, well-established transportation routes to and from the airport, and a range of services and facilities offered by the local hotels and convention center, Mazatlán International Center, for large conferences. This destination has become a popular choice for business travelers and professionals, who are looking to combine a beach town experience with business meetings.

Mazatlán’s location also works in its favor as a MICE destination. Its proximity and year-round flights to and from major airport hub cities in North America, such as Los Angeles, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Toronto and Calgary, facilitates travel and trade with American and Canadian professionals. Additionally, Mazatlán is only a one-and-a-half-hour flight from Mexico City. The city offers access to Arizona and Texas via highways. The city is also a port of call for major cruise lines.
