Cruise vouchers will be a breeze for planners, they will find it easy to capitalize on the more tangible financial attractions of modern-day Mexico, namely its location as a Latin American gateway, affordable resources, and increasingly competitive open market conditions. The mere mention of Mexico means business and opportunities and it has become a synonym for success in the global economy. There’s an added bonus: Mexico’s status as a favored tax country much like Canada’s allows for even greater value for your meeting dollar.
Big, bold, beautiful and right on the doorstep, Mexico is what planners are searching for in a travel reward destination. If location means everything, then this is it: a shared border with the American southwest and major international airports in the hottest destinations mean travel isn’t just short, but comfortable and hassle-free. Enticing vacation and cruise vouchers make great corporate and sales incentives! Everyone and their dog would love a free getaway, especially if there were no strings attached. I know there are several incentive travel packages that have you go to a seminar when you are at your destination where they try to sell you something, but you don’t ever have to buy anything, and they almost always provide you with a gift certificate or some type of trinket just for being there. So really, seminar or no, its bound to have more positives than negatives; including taking little time out of your trip.
Things to do on a Cruise, My story:
At Coki Beach, my partner hired her snorkeling gear for $20 US ( I brought my very own ). To my continuing surprise, the rental attendant gave us each a tough biscuit to feed the fish while we were in the water. After we got into the water, many tropical fish right away crowded around us. We ripped off tiny pieces of the biscuits and the fish went for it, whether or not the food was just inches away from our face masks. The yellowtail snappers, sergeant majors and occasional parrotfish displayed no fear of us . At one time, my partner held out a bigger piece of her biscuit and some of the fish darted in to nibble at it. After roughly an hour in the warm water, it was time to say bye to our new marine mates. This experience at Coki Bay with the fish was one of the factors which at last influenced my partner to become a certified scuba diver herself. Another $15 US taxi ride took us back to the cruise liner port where we spend the remainder of the day skimming the various Tax Free shops located there. An identical snorkeling trip organized thru the cruiseship would have cost us double the amount we paid. St Thomas is certainly not a cheap island for either liner passengers or resort travellers staying there but additional comfort and quality of the island are quite obvious matched against lots of other Caribbean destinations. From my readings, the other main islands of the US Virgin Islands which are St John and St Croix, are rather more relaxed and less commercialised than St Thomas. I want to visit them as well as another return trip to St Thomas in the future for a multi day underwater diving trip. For those thinking about going on a Caribbean cruise, I’d definitely suggest one which has St Thomas as one of its ports of call. It is among the better islands on any Caribbean cruise check-list.
