The Cancun Center: A New Beginning.

August 2004


What was formerly known as the Cancún Convention Center has undergone substantial changes and improvements during the past six months and with those changes also has come a new name: The Cancún Center – Conventions & Exhibitions. All of this has come about because of the infusion of private capital provided by Mr. Isaac Hamui and his group of investors.

Guillermo Martínez, the new Managing Director of the Cancún Center, made the announcement in Cancún while naming the new management team that will be responsible for all of the building’s operations. He also set some ambitious goals. Improvements include incorporating two lower floors providing both meeting and exhibition space, effectively doubling the building’s capacity. Cancún Center now offers 75,320 sq. ft. of convention area and 77,372 sq ft. of exhibition space. The convention area comprises 13 column-free halls, divisible into 37 independent rooms each with an individual sound system. Cancún Center also features four additional convention halls, a business center, a Deli Garden and a Snack Bar.

“Our intention is to make this the finest meeting facility in all of the Caribbean and Latin America,” Martínez said. “We now can accommodate, easily, more than seven thousand participants in group events and expect to be able to improve on that figure as well. We are centrally located within walking distance of 4,700 luxury hotel rooms, just 20 minutes away from Cancún International Airport, the most important such facility in México and the third busiest in all of Latin America providing all of the airlift capacity required by meeting attendees and our service providers offer the very latest in technology and equipment.

Today’s appointments are just the start of our aggressive promotional campaign. Our strategy includes 5 sales directors each addressing a specific market. Our new Executive Director, César Perdomo, is a highly qualified and experienced professional as are all of the members of our management team. Clearly this marks a new beginning for the Cancún Center – Conventions and Exhibitions, a very promising new beginning,” Martínez concluded.
