NEW YORK (Aug. 11, 2015) ─ Questex Travel Group's sixth-annual Caribbean Meeting & Incentive Travel Exchange (CMITE) event kicked off today at the all-inclusive Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, the event's first time in the country.
CMITE, held in partnership with SITE, the Society for Incentive Travel Excellence, brings fully hosted North American meeting planners and incentive buyers together with Caribbean suppliers for two and a half days of exclusive networking opportunities and prescheduled one-to-one meetings in luxury suites.
The sold-out event launched with a complimentary, pre-event familiarization trip for buyers at the stunning Casa de Campo resort and will conclude with a post-event familiarization trip to the luxurious, all-inclusive Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa.
Marilyn McHugh, Questex Travel Group's vice president of global events, said the cornerstone of the event's success is "the value of one-to-one meetings in private suites."
"This year's CMITE event is off to a great start, thanks to highly productive, qualified appointments, unique networking opportunities and an exciting new destination for our attendees in beautiful Punta Cana," she said. "Our event portfolio is the only one that offers one-to-one meetings in the privacy of luxury suites, providing tremendous value to suppliers."
Situated on 121 acres along Caribbean beachfront, the all-inclusive Hard Rock provides a scenic backdrop for dynamic business meetings and receptions.
Suppliers at the event represent cruise lines, tour operators, destination management companies and sought-after incentive destinations, hotels, resorts and spas in the region.
