For the first time in the history of thetravel trade, the world tourism industry will meet in the Caribbean for ETI, Expo de Turismo Internacional (International Tourism Expo) at the Puerto Rico Convention Center, the largest and most technically advanced in the region.

Meeting in Puerto Rico has many advantages. As the region’s hub, Puerto Rico provides direct air and sea access to most other Carib-bean islands, making it the leader in annual visitors. And best of all, no passport is needed for US citizens visiting Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico is the cosmopolitan Caribbean island, making it the perfect pre-and post cruise destination where you can enjoy luxury shopping, centuries of history and culture, exciting nightlife and casinos, world-class gastronomy and a host of outdoor sports and adventure from golf to horseback riding. As the leading cruise home port in the Caribbean and the second largest port in the Western Hemisphere, the capital city of San Juan is the ideal launching point for a journey through this magical tropical paradise of stunning beach-es and aquamarine waters.

The program for ETI was designed to maximize your business intelligence while giving you ample time to explore the island’s rich history and culture. And, of course, it was the latinos who invented the word “fiesta” and

there will be plenty of partying!

If tourism is your business, you won’t want to miss this first event where the travel world converges in Puerto Rico to discuss the latest trends in the industry, meet with partners and experience the Caribbean first hand.

During this four-day event, travel agents will have the opportunity to increase their working knowledge of the world tourism industry through group meetings, destination seminars, workshops, social and cultural events but also revel in one of the most dynamic destinations in the Caribbean.
