On a recent program we took 80 attendees to the Atlantis Resort in Nassau, Bahamas. The Bahamas has over 700 islands, about 30 of which have permanent settlements. Set in the most beautiful, crystal blue waters, these islands share a rich history and culture.

One of our group activities offered was a power boat tour to the Exuma Cays. This exciting tour over clear, shallow, aqua waters included hand feeding bat rays in the ocean, viewing a shark-feeding frenzy via snorkel mask under water, feeding grapes to giant iguana’s, snorkeling a private reef. We also enjoyed excellent Caribbean food & hospitality & breath-taking scenery.

Other activities to enjoy in the Bahamas – shopping excursions, Dolphin Encounters, Golf (recommended course- Ocean Club, Nassau), Para-Sailing, Scuba Diving, Sport Fishing & Sailing.

8,000 newly planted palm trees and numerous tons of white sand... Cancun is open and ready for business after surviving the back-to-back hurricanes, Emily and Wilma in 2005.

My first glimpse at the multi-hued blues of the Caribbean was enough to take my breath away. I heard story after story about the oceanfront hotels that literally lost all of their beaches, only to have them replaced days before my visit. Youd never know by looking at them that they havent always been there.

Cancun and the Riviera Maya offer both all-inclusive and European Plan properties, beautiful beaches and all the water sports associated with them, snorkeling, sailing, sportfishing, swimming with Dolphins, and ancient Mayan sites. In the town of Playacar, you can roam on foot along Fifth Avenue, a 10-block area of quaint sidewalk restaurants, bars, and shops. Looking for silver? This is the place to go.

Being a first-time visitor to Cancun, I really had nothing to compare it to except what I had read about and seen in pictures. The only real giveaway to the devastation caused by the hurricanes is the occasional hotel that still sits untouched by rebuilding efforts. But those are few and far between.

Instead, what you see are beautifully renovated hotels, some with rolling green manicured lawns, all with lush landscaping. The people of Cancun and the Mexican government worked together at an amazingly rapid speed to get these hotels open and ready for business.
So, when youre thinking of a great place for an incentive or convention, come back to the new Cancun.
