Selected incentive travel, congress and events buyers from the USA, Europe and Latin America will get together with Latin and North American exhibitors. During five days Cartagena de Indias received the visit of GSAR Marketing’s representatives, owners of the rights of MITM Americas, Meetings and Incentive Trade Market, to be held in Cartagena’s Convention Center next November 23rd to 25th.
MITM executives made an inspection trip to Cartagena sites such as The Castle of San Felipe, The Popa’s Convent, the Congress Center, and various plazas and hotels to be used by MITM, the most important corporate tourism related event in all Latin America. MITM executives expressed satisfaction of Cartagena de Indias hotel infrastructure, available events services and historical and cultural patrimony.
"I have travelled through all Latin America but I had never seen such a spectacular historic city like Cartagena de Indias, a city with a unique beautiful Colonial style ", said Ramon Alvarez, president of GSAR Marketing.
In this fair, only in its kind in the Americas, destinations and touristic services from the whole Continent are promoted and sold to incentive travel users and congress and convention organizers from North America, Europe, Mexico and Brazil.
Maria de los Angeles Barraza Gomez, executive president of Corporacion Turismo Cartagena de Indias said that this fair stands out not for the quantity but for the quality of its buyers, who will travel to this Caribbean port.
"In this fair the attendees are executives, decision makers, of important companies in Europe, USA, Mexico and Brazil. This is a great opportunity to sell Cartagena de Indias as one of the best cities for events in the world, since it has it all: history, culture, heritage, sun, beach and magnificent events infrastructure."
The making of MITM in Cartagena was obtained thanks to the labour done by the Corporacion Turismo Cartagena de Indias that since 2005 did the first approaches for the acquisition of this event in the city in FITUR in Spain, which was closed in MITM in Salvador Bahia in Brazil and the ITB in Berlin in 2007.
Cartagena competed to be the venue of MITM with other Latin American cities. The strategic partners for making this fair in the city are: The City of de Cartagena, Colombia Proexport and the tourism sector of the city.
