First International Tourism Expo in Caribbean Scheduled for May 13-16, 2015

The Puerto Rico Tourism Company announced that Expo de Turismo Internacional (ETI), the first international tourism expo in the Caribbean, will take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico from May 13-16, 2015. ETI-Puerto Rico is designed to showcase the beauty, sports, nature, adventure and gastronomy experiences available throughout the Caribbean and beyond, bringing together members of the tourism industry from across the globe.

“In planning for this event and with input from local and regional organizations such as the Caribbean Tourism Organization and the Puerto Rico Hotel & Tourism Association, we are confident that this event has the potential to be a mainstay on the international calendar of tourism events,” said Ingrid I. Rivera Rocafort, executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism company, organizers of ETI-Puerto Rico.

ETI-Puerto Rico will be held at the Puerto Rico Convention Center, the largest and most technologically advanced business conference venue in the Caribbean. The Center is located in the heart of San Juan on the Isla Grande peninsula, near the world-renowned city of Old San Juan.
As the U.S. travel market's top-selling destination, “the Caribbean has long required an annual event tailored specifically to travel agents,” said Rivera. “The fact that Puerto Rico acts as a hub for the Caribbean, with air and sea access to most islands, makes it an ideal location for this tourism expo.”

The four-day event will include group meetings, social and cultural events, field trips, workshops, destination trainings, keynote addresses and more, while the Exhibit Hall will be open two days to travel trade and one day to consumers. ETI-Puerto Rico will feature pavilions from the Caribbean and beyond, providing tourism boards, hotels, suppliers, tour operators, airlines and others with direct access to 1,000+ travel agents from the U.S., Central & South America, and Europe, and exposing them to new destinations and attractions.
