The destination was recently awarded for “Excellence in the MICE 2024 Segment,” based on a national survey of congress organizers, business conventions, and tourism providers. This acknowledgment highlights Punta Cana’s growing reputation as a top-tier location for meetings and events.
The award, presented in Mexico by Convenciones Latinoamérica magazine, evaluated key aspects such as operational ease, cleanliness, security, hotel diversity, event facilities, and professionalism in the value chain.
