Event Facts

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

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.

The CTM format is somewhat different from the “traditional” event format. At CTM, the Buyers have stands instead of the Suppliers. Therefore, it is the Suppliers who walk the floor to meet with the Buyers at their respective stands.  This format allows Suppliers to visit Buyer stands, helping reduce costs related to booth/stand decorations and set-up. There are some Suppliers (who are not hotels), such as Technology companies, Airlines, Attractions, and Tourism/Promotion Boards, that have promotional stands. And, the main focus of CTM continues to be contracting between Hotels/Suppliers and Buyers.

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, which includes everything listed above, PLUS three (3) nights accommodations at the all-inclusive Iberostar Selection Cancun.

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.
