Hugging the coast of México’s Yucatan Peninsula, just south of Cancun, the Riviera Maya was an important center for commerce and religion for the ancient Maya during the post-Classic period (1000 – 1550 A.D). For decades, it remained relatively untouched by development or foreign visitors. Even today, a strict land-use law regulates resort construction on the 31,200 square miles of territory, limiting mega-resort projects and ensuring the survival of the natural splendor that envelopes this region.
Meeting and incentive planners have taken note of all that makes the Riviera Maya special. With first-class meeting facilities, more than 24,000 hotel rooms, and personalized meeting planning services, the Riviera Maya is a major player in the market. Add to this the allure of world-famous archaeological sites, ecological reserves like the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, eco-parks like Xcaret and Xel-Ha and the natural beauty of the Mayan Jungle – plus gourmet dining, and some of the most beautiful in the world. All of these elements combine to create a unique experience that is sure to please the most demanding groups. |
