The Costa Rica Meetings & Incentives Bureau was founded in July of 1998 by a group of businessmen representing the Costa Rican tourism industry, and whose vision it was to develop the MICE market in order to increase the number of visitors to our country. New alternatives, such as the establishment of 5-star international hotel chains and elegant boutique hotels have spearheaded the initiative to attract this market segment.

We are a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting Costa Rica as a highly attractive incentive and meetings destination. We are made up of 40 leading tourism industry businesses, respected for their creativity, experience and professionalism in dealing with this segment of the tourism industry. Our member Dmc’s, hotels and specialized outfitters are prepared to develop proposals and offer you ideas, insight and expert advice pertaining to your Costa Rica event.

We have worked closely with the Costa Rica Tourist Board to create and implement advertising and promotional strategies using educational seminars and international trade shows. We have produced various promotional media such as: The Official Costa Rica Meetings & Incentives Guide, maps, brochures and special interest photos among others. In addition, and in order to ensure a high quality product for our meeting and incentive buyers, we have developed superior educational programs for the Costa Rica travel industry.
