Known as the Land of Enchantment, Puerto Rico combines the exoticism of the Caribbean with proximity to the United States. Puerto Rico’s history includes four hundred years as a Spanish Colony – and the mixing of Spaniards, Indians, Anglos, and Africans has created a culture unique to this island. Experience San Juan, Puerto Rico’s modern capitol city, and gain the expertise to boost your sales to Puerto Rico and the Caribbean!

At the International Destination Expo, April 14-17, 2011, you will be immersed in four days of concentrated educational sessions and have access to a trade show with hundreds of local travel suppliers. Sightseeing tours of San Juan will give you a first hand taste of what your clients will experience, and specialized education will provide you with certifications you can add to your professional profile to increase your sales.
NEW for this year, IDE delegates will have exclusive access to ship inspections!
