Top Tips for an Incentive Trip in Mexico City

Expert Advice for an Incentive in Mexico City

  1. Day of the Dead: Plan a company Retreat in Mexico around the Días de Los Muertos festival (a week-long annual festival at Halloween). This world-renowned holiday unites the living and the deceased and is not only a colourful multicultural celebration but an event showcasing Mexico's profound respect for the cycle of life. Music, exhibits and lively festivities fill the streets and culminate in a final Parade. 
  2. Weather: With year-round moderate temperatures, anytime is a good time to host a company retreat in Mexico City 
  3. Location, location, location: As a diverse city, each neighborhood brings a unique flavor and experience. For those looking for culture and upscale amenities, the neighborhoods of Polanco, Centro Historico, Condesa, Roma, and Reforma are best while strictly business travelers may prefer Santa Fe. 
  4. Foodies: In the past few years Mexico City has established itself as a thriving culinary destination. From fusion restaurants to Michelin Star taco stands and fine dining establishments. 
  5. Mexico VAT exempt program: The Mexican government introduced a VAT exemption program to encourage business travel. This incentive program allows foreign groups to host a meeting anywhere in Mexico and save the 16% VAT on rooms and meeting related expenses like AV. This saving adds up and makes hosting a retreat in Mexico City very attractive. 

Any Other Considerations for an Incentive in Mexico City

Over the last few decades, Mexico City has taken steps to improve the safety of the city and restore its reputation. While the well-worn tourist neighborhoods are relatively safe there is always a risk of petty crime (pickpocketing, vandalism), it is advised to keep within the tourist hubs especially after dark, and remain vigilant at all times. 

Mexico has legalized same-sex marriage and is known to be welcoming to LGBTQ+ and minority communities.

FAQs

How long should a corporate retreat last?
Orange Arrow

Generally, corporate retreats tend to fall within 2-5 days including travel time. The duration depends largely on the goals you aim to achieve from the event — whether it's strategic planning or strengthening employee relationships.

What is the importance of corporate retreats?
