French and British rivalry over Martinique ended in 1763, when France recognized Britain's possession of Canada and withdrew its claims on Louisiana and parts of India in exchange for the island, which is now an overseas region of France.
More than 200 people have already registered for the 23rd edition of MITM Americas, which will be held from October 14 to 17, 2019 at the Hotel Nacional de Cuba, sponsored by the Cuban Tourism Ministry and the Gran Caribe Hotel Group.
On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of Havana's Villa de San Cristóbal, this MICE event will be held, the most important in Latin America and the Caribbean, making Cuba the venue for the fourth time for this important event.
Since the call was made public, in just 3 weeks, more than 200 buyers from around 40 nations have been registered, interested in participating in this event, whose program for the 23rd edition is handled with the concept of an agenda of up to 30 pre-established appointments per exhibitor.
Among those who formalized their request are Germany, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Slovenia, Spain, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, USA, among others.
The 22nd edition of MITM recently took place in the Cuban capital, from September 18 to 21 in the halls of the Meliá Cohiba hotel in the capital, but previously in 2009 Havana hosted what constitutes the oldest international tourism fair of meetings in America and the Caribbean.
Likewise, the famous Varadero Spa hosted the event in 2004.
MITM Americas is an exclusively business fair, aimed at tourism managers of the highest international level and closed to visitors, faithful to its motto: "Quality oriented trade shows".
