M ESSAGE F ROM T H E FCCA
Michele M. Paige
CEO, Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association
Micky Arison
Chairman, Carnival Corporation & PLC Chairman, FCCA
On behalf of Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) and our Member Lines, I welcome you to the FCCA Cruise Conference in amazing Mazatlán, State of Sinaloa, Mexico. This event is poised to be pivotal in helping attendees foster relationships and understanding to improve their cruise tourism business, and we have seen that communication and collaboration are more important than ever. By working together, we will continue to build back even better. We probably all know that cruise tourism is sailing full steam ahead and outpacing land-based vacations. This impressive recovery was only possible because of that constant communication and collaboration between cruise lines and destinations – something that has not only continued, but also evolved in the wake of the pandemic. This event will offer a boatload of these opportunities throughout the business sessions, including oneon-one meetings and workshops, and networking opportunities during social functions – all geared to put attendees in direct contact with cruise executives that decide where ships call, what sells on board and how to invest in destination products and infrastructure. Better yet, these executives will be on hand specifically to help attendees do more business with the cruise industry by addressing specific issues regarding the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Mexico; discussing facets of cruise tourism business like tours and infrastructure while forming invaluable business partnerships; and targeting other ways to foster mutual benefits between cruise lines and destinations, including employment and sourcing. Plus, Mazatlan and the State of Sinaloa are ready to take the spotlight with hospitality, culture, authentic offerings taking centerstage. I am excited for all to discover what has fascinated me and so many guests in this sensational destination. I want to give a special thanks to all those throughout Mazatlán and the State of Sinaloa, especially Governor Ruben Rocha Moya, who took the initiative to host us today and make a testament to their commitment in growing cruise tourism – along with finding ways to inject more economic benefits from every cruise call and passenger. This is the goal for all of us here, so I encourage you to take full advantage of the opportunities available, as they are focused on accomplishing what we have seen is crucial – joining cruise executives, destinations and stakeholders to improve mutual understanding and success – while also mixing business with pleasure to build stronger relationships. 3
MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR OF SINALOA Welcome Cruise Industry Partners to the 29th (Twenty-Ninth) Annual Florida - Caribbean Cruise Association Cruise Conference, Hosted in Sinaloa, Mazatlan “Land of the Eleven Rivers” Sinaloa is one of the five states located in the northwest region of Mexico, which together form the maritime-geographic area known as the Sea of Cortes. It is a true treasure chest of beauty and adventure for all our visitors. Our state has more than 407 miles of coastline of privileged tourist and fishing wealth. The biodiversity of its twelve dams, along with the extensive coastlines, has made our destination a world-class spot for sport fishing in the world. Our two ports, Topolobampo and Mazatlan, has allowed us to excel in areas such as domestic and global trade but also making us an ideal destination for cruise lines, especially those Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association member lines. Topolobampo, located in the northern part of the state on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, is just 200 miles from the entrance to the Gulf of California and is the gateway to the Sea of Cortes-Copper Canyon tourist circuit. It offers one of the most vibrant experiences for tourists by connecting two magical towns: El Fuerte in Sinaloa and Creel in Chihuahua, both considered by the World Tourism Organization as the Best Tourism Villages in 2022. This colorful port, bathed by crystal clear waters, has countless natural attractions to visit and exquisite gastronomy based on fresh products from the region, making it an unmissable destination.

Mazatlan is the jewel in our tourist crown. During your visit, you will have the opportunity to get to know a city that combines artistic and cultural tradition with colonial architecture and its beautiful golden beaches, in the midst of a permanent delight. Allowing us to be named the ‘Pearl of the Pacific’. Mazatlan is synonymous with joy and great service. This event will be the perfect opportunity for you to experience our famous ‘Day of the Dead Street Walk,’ where the electric carnival atmosphere will captivate you and allow you to experience our greatest festivity: Mazatlan’s International Carnival, which was recently recognized as the one with the greatest tradition and color in Mexico. I would also encourage you to live a normal cruise passenger experience by visiting our port facilities and combining it with a boardwalk through the colonial streets of Plazuela Machado and into the stunning views of the Angela Peralta Theater. Make sure to also visit the Great Sea of Cortes Aquarium, the largest in Latin America. Another must during your visit would be to taste our local cuisine that has been known to captivate visitors from the very first bite. It is my hope you experience the best of Mazatlan and sign on to become one of our newest commercial partners to help bring more tourists to our magical destination. I know time will be limited due to your business agenda, but make it a point to explore the rural areas and magical towns of El Rosario, San Ignacio and Cosalá and the smaller communities that allow us to capture the splendor of Sinaloa such as El Quelite, La Noria and Copala, located just a few miles from the port. As hosts of this unique event, we look foward to sharing our knowledge and learning from you, on how we can best serve and establish long-term relationships with the cruise industry. In the meantime, enjoy all the delights that Sinaloa and Mazatlan have to offer. Welcome to Mazatlan, where the sun, sea, and culture never stop capturing your imagination. Dr. RUBÉN ROCHA MOYA Constitutional Governor of The State of Sinaloa
