Los Cabos: The Ultimate Destination for MICE Events
Los Cabos, located at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, is not just known for its stunning landscapes—but also for its exceptional capacity to host high-profile meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE). As planning shifts toward impactful and unique experiences, Los Cabos stands out as a premier choice, offering unmatched value and authenticity.
An Overview of Los Cabos
Characterized by the striking contrast of desert and sea, Los Cabos offers various luxury accommodations ranging from world-renowned resorts to unique boutique hotels. This charm attracts planners from around the globe, keen to exploit the region’s natural beauty while ensuring successful events.
At the upcoming IMEX Americas 2025, the Los Cabos Tourism Board will showcase its robust MICE ecosystem, which has continually proven to enhance organizational goals through memorable experiences. In 2024, the area welcomed more than 8,200 meetings and around 5,800 successful incentive programs, confirming its place among the top 5 preferred international destinations for events from the U.S. and Canada.
Logistics and Accessibility
One of Los Cabos' significant advantages is its unparalleled accessibility. With over 600 direct flights arriving each week from various global destinations, including 330 weekly direct services from 32 cities across the United States, planners can easily bring attendees to the event without the hassle usually associated with travel.

Las Cabos takes pride in the average attendee's longer stay. In 2024, individuals participating in meetings experienced an average of 6.7 nights compared to the usual 6.1 nights for ordinary tourists. This indicates a more profound engagement with the destination.
The mix of luxurious venues with unique activities also contributes significantly to the local economy, with the MICE sector accounting for 10.7% of total tourism activities. Over 42.8% of economic spillover benefits complementary services, enhancing not just the immediate event but future tourism as well. Additionally, recent reports show that 92% of events positively influenced service practices, while a remarkable 88% of participants expressed a desire to return as tourists.
