Cancún is offering travel incentives for people wanting to visit.

Steven Roberts

It seems as if Cancún or any other vacation destination is further away this year than it has ever been in the past. The pandemic has affected our vacation plans, and sometimes, we just need a little incentive in order to take the lead.

As far as vacation destinations are concerned, it is difficult to beat what Cancún has to offer. Between the white sand beaches, crystal blue water, and all of the extracurricular activities, there is enough to keep you happy from the start to the end of any trip. This year, they are sweetening the pot after months of lockdown.

The Mexican city is trying to get tourists to come back to the area so they started a campaign that is difficult to top. It offers many bonuses, including discounts on car rentals, free meals, theme park entry, free rounds at the golf course, and even some free hotel rooms!

This incentive, which is seen on social media as #Come2MexicanCaribbean, went underway on June 15.

Reporte Lobby , a Mexican tourism outlet, talked about the campaign and how it was started by Cancún businesses. It wasn’t long before the entire state of Quinta Roo was involved.

More than 200 businesses in the area are already on board with the project, including 17 theme parks, 12 golf courses, and 153 hotels.

The entire project focuses on the number two. As an example, if you booked two nights at a hotel, you will get two nights free stay. Car rental agencies are also offering something similar

Other areas may also get involved in the #Come2MexicanCaribbean project, including the Caribbean island of Isla Mujeres.

There is even going to be a competition in which two people will win holidays for two decades!

According to Tyla , in a press release, the President of the Cancun, Puerto Morelos and Isla Mujeres Hotels Association, Roberto Cintron, said:

“We are very happy and above all, committed because of the great participation in this campaign of the different state hotel associations as well as the tourist industry generally.

It’s designed to reactivate holidays to our destinations after the crisis caused by Covid-19.”

Oliver Reinhart is also a big player within tourism in the area who told the local media that they had to react to get people to their “spectacular destinations” and to stay in the mind of tourists. That is why he and others are pushing the limit with a creative idea and a campaign that is sure to have an impact.

He continued, saying:

“We are convinced the formula to reactivate tourism is working together. The campaign is not about cheating the destination to a two for one. Cancun is worth what it is.

If it’s now available at a cheaper price take advantage of it because it’s not going to last for ever.”

Tourism in Mexico was expected to reopen earlier in June. The FCO is advising against nonessential travel so it is not clear when travel restrictions will be completely lifted.

Some countries are already inviting tourists, including Mallorca, and Greece. There are certain requirements for entry, so it’s always best to make certain before you book your flight and pack your bags.

Could Cancun and the Riviera Maya in Mexico be your next travel incentive destination?

Clare Bingham

  • 26 May 2023

FMI are a specialist travel incentive agency with over 20 years of experience delivering group travel incentives for global brands both in the UK, EMEA and Worldwide.

We recently returned from Cancun and the Riviera Maya, so let’s explore the benefits of running a travel incentive trip to this stunning and exhilarating Mexican Caribbean destination.

Running an incentive programme in Cancun and the Riviera Maya offers several benefits for both companies and their participants. Here are some key advantages:

Stunning Natural Beauty: Cancun and the Riviera Maya boast breath-taking landscapes, pristine beaches, and crystal-clear turquoise waters. The region is home to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest coral reef system in the world. The mesmerising beauty of this destination creates a serene and visually appealing environment that can enhance the overall experience of participants.

Accessibility and Infrastructure: Cancun is a well-developed tourist destination with modern infrastructure, including international airports and a wide range of accommodation, from large luxury resorts to boutique hotels. This accessibility makes it convenient for participants to travel and navigate the area comfortably. The region also offers a variety of activities, such as water sports, eco-tours, and historical sites, ensuring there are diverse options to suit different interests and energy levels.

Climate: The tropical climate of Cancun and the Riviera Maya provides favourable weather conditions for most of the year. With warm temperatures and abundant sunshine, participants can enjoy outdoor activities and take advantage of the region’s natural attractions. This climate is particularly appealing for incentive programmes that involve beach or water-based activities, creating a relaxing and enjoyable environment. Remember to pack your bio-degradable suncream to protect nature’s finest!

Travel Incentive

All-Inclusive Resorts: The area is renowned for its all-inclusive resorts, which offer comprehensive packages that include accommodation, meals, drinks, meeting space and various recreational activities. These stunning resorts, such as Hard Rock Cancun , Hard Rock Riviera Maya and Unico 20°87° , provide a convenient and hassle-free experience for participants, allowing them to focus on networking, team-building, and enjoying the programme’s activities without worrying about additional costs or logistics. This cost-effective destination coupled with an all-inclusive package is a win for your travel incentive budget and guest management.

Diverse Activities and Excursions: Cancun and the Riviera Maya offer a wide range of activities and excursions to suit different preferences and team-building objectives. Participants can explore ancient Mayan ruins like Tulum and Coba, visit natural wonders such as cenotes (natural sinkholes) and underground rivers at Rio Secreto , embark on jungle adventures, experience driving speedboats through mangroves and snorkelling in the vibrant coral reefs, or simply relax on the picturesque beaches. This diversity ensures there are ample opportunities for team-building exercises, group bonding, and individual enjoyment.

Cultural Experience : The region is rich in cultural heritage and offers participants a chance to immerse themselves in Mexican traditions, art, and cuisine. They can enjoy local delicacies and extraordinary cuisine at Mamazzita in Bohemian Square and experience vibrant nightlife at the jungle bar Confessions or participate in cultural events and festivals such as Day of the Dead. Incorporating cultural elements into the incentive programme can foster cultural appreciation and create truly memorable experiences for participants. A Quesadilla with Rajas Poblanas is a must try delicacy (if you like grasshoppers)!

cancun travel incentive

Motivational Setting: The combination of natural beauty, luxurious amenities, and a relaxed atmosphere creates a motivational setting that can enhance the overall impact of the incentive programme. Participants are likely to feel inspired, rejuvenated, and valued in such an environment, which can boost morale, encourage teamwork, and drive performance. Connecting companies with people in this way will deliver highly effective brand engagement, not to mention the excitement in the run up to the trip itself!

Networking Opportunities: Incentive programmes often bring together employees, partners, or clients from various locations. The relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere of Cancun and the Riviera Maya provides an ideal setting for networking and building relationships. Participants can engage in informal conversations, share experiences, and strengthen professional connections while enjoying the programme’s activities and events. Nothing creates a stronger team bond than swimming and guiding one another through an underground river – just don’t touch the rocks!

Overall, running an incentive programme in Cancun and the Riviera Maya offers a combination of natural beauty, convenience, diverse activities, and a motivational setting. This combination creates a unique and rewarding experience for participants, promoting team-building, networking, and motivation, while allowing them to enjoy the stunning surroundings and immerse themselves in the local culture.

Your Incentive Trips and Meetings in Cancun

  • April 8, 2017

Table of Contents

More and more companies and corporations have discovered in recent years the immense value of rewarding their employees with incentive trips and meetings.  And from the standpoint of an employee, what’s not to love?  If you put in the time and effort to do your absolute best at work, it might just lead to an amazing vacation sponsored by your company!  

Incentive Trip Travel Industry and Cancun

With annual numbers reaching nearly $30 million worldwide, the incentive travel industry clearly plays a large part in the global economy.  The trend of traveling to exotic destinations in foreign countries for incentive trips has been on the rise, and Cancun is a terrific example of an ideal setting in which employees can recharge their batteries with some well-deserved time off from their usual office environment.   Mexico , and Cancun in particular, is one of the most sought-after travel destinations in the world, which makes it an extremely appealing choice for incentive trips and meetings.

Incentivizing Travel Rewards in Cancun

Incentivizing Travel Rewards in Cancun

It should come as no surprise that companies that choose to offer incentives such as travel rewards to their employees are quite successful because their staff is highly motivated to be recognized and they want their hard work and dedication to shine through.  These companies also report that their staff retention rates are high and that their staff are more productive and perform their duties with better attitudes than those who work in businesses that do not offer these types of rewards.  Taking a trip as a company can be a major boost to the morale of any workforce, which can create a more pleasant work environment for everyone, even long after the vacation is over.  

Meetings in Cancun

There are convention centers located all over Cancun that are built to accommodate large crowds and make the ideal meeting place for companies traveling together.  From training seminars and lectures to team building activities, the entire company will benefit from a work-related getaway that also allows plenty of time for fun.  

Why choose Cancun for your incentive trips and meeting?

Soaking up some sun in a gorgeous setting like Cancun where the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Caribbean play against the white sandy beaches will make any incentive trip even more inviting.  Furthermore, there are countless activities to take part in, from water sports like paddle boarding or scuba diving to adventures on land such as ziplining or ATV tours .  There is plenty of incredible history and culture to explore, especially several sites of Mayan ruins in the area.  Top it all off with delectable gourmet dining and world-class spa services, and the entire staff will return home with a feeling of total rejuvenation.

Cancún is just a short flight away from the U.S. It’s a popular tourist destination year-round, but especially so during the spring and summer months, as well as the Christmas holiday season.

Known for exceptional white-sand beaches , a lively culture, and some of the friendliest locals you’ll encounter, Cancún is certainly an aspirational spot in Mexico that’s worth a visit.

Located on the Yucatán Peninsula, it’s also near Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and Cozumel, which means you’ll have endless activities and attractions to visit!

When you visit Cancún, you have an endless array of lodging options, ranging from Airbnbs and boutique hotels to opulent 5-star resorts and everything in-between! In this guide, we’ll be showing you our favorite hotels to book using points.

7 Best Value Cancún Hotels

All of the below properties are displayed with cash room rates that include taxes and fees — an important cost to consider since the total ancillary fees almost always exceed 30% of the room rate!

We evaluated all of the 4 major hotel chain loyalty programs: Hilton Honors ,  World of Hyatt ,  IHG One Rewards , and Marriott Bonvoy . Without further ado, here are the best Cancún hotels to book using points!

Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya

Our favorite property to redeem points at isn’t technically in Cancún — it’s in nearby Playa del Carmen, which is a less than 1-hour drive from Cancún International Airport (CUN).

But the drive is totally worth it; in fact, the Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya was recognized in 2020 by Conde Nast Traveler as the #1 resort in Mexico !

The property boasts beachfront luxury in a private, gated complex surrounded by lush greenery and nature.

Choose between 1 king bed or 2 double beds — either way, you’ll enjoy at least 538 square feet of space. The standard rooms contain plush bedding, an open floor plan, a private terrace, floor-to-ceiling windows, a flat-screen TV, a sitting area with 2 chairs and a table, a Bluetooth speaker, a fully-stocked complimentary minibar , a Nespresso coffee machine, and tea facilities.

The beautiful marble spa bathroom contains double sinks, a walk-in rain shower, luxury toiletries, bright lighting, bathrobes, slippers, and more.

This property comes fully loaded with dining options, including an all-day restaurant with 2 open kitchens, a poolside Mexican restaurant, a shorefront seafood restaurant, a terrace cocktail bar and juicery, a fantastic gastronomic dinner restaurant, and a vibrant cocktail bar.

You can enjoy any of the hotel’s facilities, including the 2 outdoor pools, whirlpool, gym, spa, and kids’ club! There are also meeting and event facilities.

Category : 6

World of Hyatt Points Required : 25,000

Cash Rate : $300 to $1,300 ($425 on average) per night

Points Value : Up to 5.2 cents per point

Hot Tip: In addition to being our favorite Cancun area hotel to book with points, Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya also made our list of the best hotels to book with points in Mexico !

Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen Resort

However, we do not recommend transferring your points from Chase due to the limited value you’ll get from your redemption.
