Cozumel's "Fun in the Sun" Travel Agent Seminar Program

Cozumel is offering a series of "Fun in the Sun" seminars for home based travel agents across the U.S. The Cozumel Tourism Promotion Board is hosting the in-depth seminars about the Mexican-Caribbean destination in 12 major cities over the course of three weeks.

The seminars are designed to help educate agents about Cozumel, highlight the popularity of the destination and provide tools and information for selling Cozumel. Each workshop includes a presentation about Cozumel and covers topics such as the island's popularity as a dive, family and romance destination; the ability to offer a wide range of accommodations; and the island's setting as a wedding and honeymoon venue.

It will also give home based travel agents a chance to learn the latest news and updates from Cozumel and receive information about island's increased luxury and spa offerings, as well as information on the recent opening of Cozumel's newest attraction, Discover Mexico, a cultural based theme park.

A new, comprehensive Cozumel guide, along with brochures and materials about the hotels and attractions throughout the destination, will be available at each seminar. Raul Marrufo, director of the Cozumel Tourism Promotion Board, and representatives from various Cozumel hotels and resorts will be on hand to address questions.

Admission to the seminars, which are open to travel agents only, is $8. Workshops will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. with a sit-down dinner, except for the Bellevue, Wash., seminar, which will take place in the morning.
