WELCOME MEXICO: A GLOBAL PLAYER Dear Meeting Professional, Thank you for your interest in Mexico as host for your next destination meeting or event. If you’ve already visited this fascinating country and know of its endless possibilities for both work and play, we’re happy to have you back and look forward to sharing what’s new in its ever- evolving meetings industry. If this is your first glimpse of Mexico, we are honored to be your window into one of the world’s top meeting destinations. At Meetings Alliance we continue to work proactively to connect you with the right professionals and venues and have as seamless an experience as possible, which is why this year we have formed an alliance with Mexican Meetings Industry Council, or COMIR by its acronym in Spanish. COMIR is made up of and represents twelve associations and organizations that conform the meetings industry in Mexico, serving as their spokesperson with the federal and local government agencies to promote the segment, and working Sandra Reed to standardize the subject matter and language of Mexico’s meetings industry across international boundaries. As you might be aware, the new year has brought Mexico into a transition period with a new government and a new president. It will be interesting to see the country’s top performing industries evolve in 2019, but it’s safe to say that within the meetings industry all forecasts are stable. Within the pages of the 2019 Meetings Guide to Mexico you will find a comprehensive look at destinations, new and notable infrastructure countrywide, and vital industry-specific information to help you choose your next event venue. This printed edition is complemented by a frequently-updated digital online version that will provide you with expanded information including lists of top hotel properties with meetings facilities, DMCs, PCOs, and much more, available at www.meetingsalliance.com. On behalf of Mexico’s thriving business events industry, we look forward to guiding you through the best of what this country has to offer the international MICE segment and we encourage you to choose Mexico as your next successful meetings destination. Sincerely, Sandra Reed Director Meetings Alliance We are the main source of information that connects international meeting planners with Mexico’s MICE segment. 6 WELCOME MGMX 2019: AN INVALUABLE TOOL Dear readers, The meetings industry is one of Mexico’s most powerful drivers of growth, generating 1.8% of the GDP, which represents 3.17 times the GDP generated by the sum total of concerts, shows, and every type of amateur and professional sports events, including all of the country’s leisure activities. Given this, the Meetings Industry is equivalent to 17.50% of the country’s total GDP generated by tourism as measured by the Mexico Tourism Satellite Account (CST 2014) and represents 18.8% of the country’s total hotel occupancy.* Beyond the economic spillover throughout the extensive value chain, the increase in per capita spending per visitor, and an improved hotel occupancy, Mexico also benefits from the academic and social spillover, as the industry promotes the professionalization of its citizens via presentations by top speakers on a national and international level, the networking be- tween participants, and the creation of productive jobs in an industry that’s both sustainable Jaime Salazar Figueroa and socially responsible. The Mexican Meetings Industry Council, COMIR by its acronym in Spanish, is the entity that integrates and represents the 12 most important associations of the meetings industry in Mexico to promote and defend their interests before the government, legislature, and other organizations both national and international, and is dedicated to the promotion of the profes- sionalization and development of all of the sector’s participants. As President of COMIR, I am pleased to present to you an invaluable tool that can be relied upon to provide relevant and up-to-date information on the MICE industry in Mexico: The Meetings Guide to Mexico.

Halting the trend of environmental degradation is one of the biggest challenges that societies across the globe face in the 21st century. As social actors and civil society organizations dedicated to secur- ing the future of Mexico’s natural heritage, our deep concern for this fact led us to reflect on the fundamental aspects of this loss, which is dra- matically shrinking the natural wealth that is vital to our development and survival.

  • Cabo Pulmo National Park
    Sustainable Tourism IV 263 Sustainable tourism planning for the only coral reef in the Gulf of California: Cabo Pulmo national park O. Arizpe & M. Covarrubias Universidad A. de Baja California Sur, Mexico Abstract The most northerly coral reef in the Eastern Pacific has supported commercial and sport fishing for almost a century. Research and assessments carried out since 1988 showed an increasing environmental impact of extractive actions resulting in a decline of coral cover and density of fish, mollusc and other marine populations, generating negative effects in the only coral reef in the Gulf of California. The growing importance of tourism activities, especially eco-tourism, as a source of employment and welfare creates the opportunity to shift from extractive actions to a sustainable tourism approach. The purpose of this study was to develop a rigorously planned management strategy to improve the health of the environment and the quality of life of the human population of Cabo Pulmo. The methods used included micro region zoning through a Geographical Information System and capacity of use evaluation, integrating the physical, biological, economical and social characteristics of the study area. Based on the evaluation of indexes of fragility, pressure, and vulnerability, 31 environmental units were proposed. The results showed that the predominant environmental policy would be sustainable management within 40% of the total area, restoration in 12%, and a conservation and protection policy in 48%. The sites with most human impact would need an environmental management policy, with the encouragement of sustainable tourism, while eliminating and further excluding any extreme use or high density traditional tourism.
