Record cruise executive attendance, increased economic benefits for Mazatlán and all of Mexico, and invaluable opportunities for attendees were discussed at a press conference last week in Mazatlán, Mexico ahead of the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) Cruise Conference & Trade Show, taking place November 7-10, 2023.

“This is the only event in the region that puts any attendee in direct contact with cruise executives that can drive business,” said Micky Arison, Chairman, Carnival Corporation & plc and FCCA.

“Not only is this an invaluable opportunity for those interested in doing business with cruise lines, but (it) also leads to positive developments for cruise lines by communicating and collaborating with stakeholders.”

President of the FCCA, Adam Ceserano, added: “We are proud of this event’s continued success for attendees and so many throughout our partner destinations,”

“This has been the birthplace of everything from new tours to entire destination developments, so we are excited about what this year can mean for attendees, along with what it can bring Mazatlán by showcasing some of its stunning sights, sounds and tastes.”

Cruise executives are also anxiously awaiting the event, with a record number of 71 currently confirmed, the most ever three months before the event.
