CTM at a Glance

The 38th Annual Cancun Travel Mart:

  • October 21–23, 2026
  • Iberostar Selection Cancun
  • Approximately 650–700 international travel industry professionals
  • Pre-scheduled business appointments
  • Buyers host their own stands; Suppliers move throughout the Marketplace

What Is Cancun Travel Mart?

Cancun Travel Mart is one of Mexico’s premier travel industry business events, bringing together international Tour Operators, Wholesalers, and other travel Buyers with hotels, DMCs, attractions, airlines, tourism organizations, technology companies, and other travel industry Suppliers from the Mexican Caribbean and destinations throughout Mexico.

What Makes CTM Different?

Unlike a traditional trade show, CTM Buyers host their own company stands in the Marketplace. Hotels and other Suppliers move throughout the business area according to their personalized appointment schedules, allowing Buyers to remain in one location while meeting with their business partners.

The Result:

  • Efficient, pre-scheduled business appointments
  • Personalized appointment schedules
  • More time for productive meetings
  • A Marketplace designed specifically for conducting business

 

The main focus of CTM continues to be contracting between Hotels/Suppliers and Buyers.

The 38th Annual Cancun Travel Mart (CTM), hosted by the Cancun, Puerto Morelos & Isla Mujeres Hotel Association, will take place October 21, 22 & 23, 2026 at Iberostar Selection Cancun.

CTM brings together Buyers, including Tour Operators and Wholesalers, from Mexico and key international markets to establish business relationships and conduct business with Suppliers (hotels, receptive tour operators/DMCs, attractions, airlines, tourism and destination promotion offices, technology companies, and other tourism-related companies) from the Mexican Caribbean and destinations throughout Mexico.

The CTM format is unique and differs from the traditional trade show model. Rather than Hotels/Suppliers having exhibition booths, Buyers are assigned their own stands where they conduct their scheduled business appointments. Suppliers move throughout the business area according to their personalized appointment schedules. In addition, select non-hotel Suppliers, including airlines, technology companies, attractions, and tourism and destination promotion offices, participate with promotional stands alongside the Buyer stands. The main focus of CTM continues to be contracting between Hotels/Suppliers and Buyers.

We anticipate approximately 650–700 participants, including Buyers, Suppliers, members of the trade press, and special guests.

The Schedule of Events follows a “strictly business” format, beginning with an arrival/registration day, followed by two days of pre-scheduled business appointments. During these sessions, Buyers and Suppliers will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with decision-makers to discuss existing contracts, develop new packages and “fill-in” last minute spring/summer openings. Evening functions and working lunches are organized to provide delegates with additional opportunities to network.

CTM Buyers include Tour Operators, Wholesalers, and Meeting/Incentive Companies from the USA, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Latin America, Asia/Pacific, and Europe who attend to “purchase/buy” the services of the Suppliers.  There is no entry to the event as a visitor and the event is not for Travel Agents, unless they handle groups and contract directly with hotels.

The Buyer Early Registration fee is US$150 (increases to US$200 after August 14) and includes:

  • One delegate badge
  • A 3m by 2m stand/booth equipped with a table, chairs, electrical outlet, and identification sign
  • Pre-scheduled appointments with Suppliers
  • Access to all CTM business and social activities (Welcome Reception, Working Lunches, Marketplace Cafe), destination update presentations, and much more.
  • Airport transfers for arrivals on October 21 and departures October 24
  • An alternative registration option for Buyers is available of US$845 (increases to US$895 after August 14), which includes everything listed above, PLUS three (3) nights accommodations at the all-inclusive Iberostar Selection Cancun.

CTM Suppliers are “Decision Makers” representing Hotels, Incoming Tour Operators, DMCs, Tourism/Promotion Boards, Attractions, Airlines, etc., that offer a tourism product or service in Mexico. There is a subcategory of Suppliers for Media and Technology (Media/Tech) companies related to the tourism sector.

The Supplier EARLY Registration fee is US$1,000 (increases to US$1,250 after August 14), and includes:

  • Two delegate badges
  • Pre-scheduled appointments with Buyers
  • Access to all CTM business and social activities (Welcome Reception, Working Lunches, Marketplace Cafe), destination update presentations, and much more.
  • Non-Hotels, such as Tourism/Promotion offices, Media/Tech Organizations, and Attractions, have the option to have a booth/stand (pending available space) for US$1,595 (increases to US$1,795 after August 14), which includes a 3m by 2m stand with table, chairs, an electrical outlet, and identification sign. Appointments are not guaranteed for Promotional Stands. 
  • Each additional delegate is US$250 (increases to US$300 after August 14). 

Meetings are scheduled using SelectMatch™, the William H. Coleman, Inc. pre-scheduled business appointment scheduling system. SelectMatch™ schedules PerfectMatch appointments (Buyer and Supplier mutual requests) followed by “Buyer Requests”.  Supplier-only Requests are assigned exclusively to Buyers who accept/select this option during their registration process.  This approach virtually eliminates “no-shows” and assures productive meetings.

Discounted Fares are offered by participating carriers serving Cancun.

Discounted Hotel Rates are available for early arrivals and extended stays.
