Spring break for meeting planners

12/03/2012

The wonderful tradition of Spring Break is commonly known as a week for college students to ditch the books, hit the beach, and have a drink or two with friends. Also called March Break among Canadian students, Spring Break week is typically held during the month of March. Although the exact dates differ across universities, the destinations are often the same. So whether you jibe at or join them, you’ll know where the party is so you can plan your March business event accordingly!

The following 9 venues are found in the most popular Spring Break hotspots. They include Mexico and a few southern U.S. states. Each one provides a beautiful atmosphere and impressive MICE meeting space, appropriate for any business meeting. Mexico is no doubt at the top of the list. Its business tourism is booming – the MICE industry alone added a whopping 18 billion USD to the Mexican economy last year!
