Punta Cana receives Excellence Award at MICE Tourism 2024
As one of the world’s premier vacation destinations, Punta Cana is gaining recognition for meeting and event tourism (MICE). The destination was recently awarded the ‘Excellence in MICE 2024 Award’ based on a national survey of meeting organizers, business conventions and tourism providers. This acknowledgment underscores Punta Cana’s growing reputation as a premier location for meetings and events.
The award, presented in Mexico by Convenciones Latinoamerica magazine, evaluated important aspects such as ease of operation, cleanliness, security, hotel diversity, event facilities and professionalism in the value chain. Punta Cana’s strong airport infrastructure and road connectivity further contributed to its recognition. The efforts of the Dominican Republic’s Ministry of Tourism, such as participation in trade fairs and training initiatives, are strengthening the MICE sector and showcasing the country’s unique services for corporate and international events.
MICE tourism plays a key role in increasing sustainability and profitability by balancing seasonal demands. Punta Cana’s strong infrastructure includes more than 43,000 hotel rooms, many of which accommodate luxury accommodation and conferences, making it a key player in the Dominican Republic’s tourism sector. The Mexican market continues to drive growth, strengthen relationships and reaffirm Punta Cana’s commitment to exceptional service and quality experiences.
