CMITE is the leading event that puts you face-to-face with pre-qualified, high volume North America-based meeting planners and incentive buyers who habitually book business in the Caribbean and Mexico.

THE QUESTEX DIFFERENCE
The first of its kind, Questex pioneered the one-to-one, appointment-based event concept over 10 years ago with our flagship event, Incentive Travel Exchange. While often imitated, but never duplicated, we’ve since perfected our concept by taking the meetings out of the noisy ballrooms and giving suppliers the opportunity to have full, private meetings in a quiet and productive atmosphere, just like you would when conducting a sales call. Only instead of an office, you’re chatting in a deluxe hotel room.
OUR 2021 DESTINATION: PARADISE ISLAND AND NASSAU!
Atlantis, Paradise Island is a lush, oceanside resort located on Paradise Island. The resort’s new, immersive programming
connects guests to the rich history, art, people, food and festivities of The Bahamas.
Dominating the island is the sprawling Atlantis resort, complete with a casino, the Aquaventure water park, and an extensive marine habitat.
Atlantis features five distinct hotels in which to stay, from the iconic The Royal to The Beach and The Coral to the newly built luxury properties, The Cove and The Reef.
Paradise Island sits just offshore from the island of New Providence in the Bahamas. Two bridges connect to the city of Nassau, over Nassau Harbour. White-sand beaches include popular Cabbage Beach and Paradise Beach, both edging on the Atlantic Ocean.
We will also be in lovely Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas. It retains many of its typical pastel-colored British colonial buildings, like the pink-hued Government House. Nassau is the home of the Caribbean’s newest major resort, Baha Mar.
GETTING THERE
Nassau Paradise Island is conveniently located just a short flight away with non-stop service from many major US and Canadian cities.
