Mexican Caribbean

In collaboration with Inspire, we can achieve a number of stand-out events, since the level of professionalism with which they operate is absolutely spectacular. Whether seasonal, occasional or personalized, each event maintains the same essence, and this is thanks to the permanence of values, attitudes, and production of work.

Based on the years in which Inspire has worked with themes, we can confirm that their participation is essential for anyone who is looking to experience the best and greatest opportunities of all, hand in hand with the IVI DMC Enterprises motto “WE MAKE YOU LOOK GREAT”. A motto that denotes our collaboration with the highest level of professionalism and quality in the events and destinations segments.

A place where very detail matters

4 Elements

Water, Earth, Fire, and Wind are the elements that paradise holds, the water of our beaches and its beautiful views cannot be missed by anyone who visits the destination as they are a visual delight. Our land is rich in life as it surrounds us with hundreds of plants and species. The fire of our hearts gives the best and warmest welcome full of surprises, emotions, and experiences that only a few can experience, and the wind that runs from one side grants pleasure that one lives inside a paradise called Cancun. All of this is lived inside the 4 Elements theme party which has all the inspiration and creativity of the Mexican Caribbean, an unforgettable and excessively colorful experience. Visitors can appreciate everything that the Mexican Caribbean has to offer and also fill the sceneries with colors since they are a characterization of our culture. This experience makes each moment unforgettable and inspiring for every theme celebration.

Day of the Dead

The commemoration of our loved ones who culminated their time is carried out during a unique and special celebration that characterizes our culture with colors, creativity, and food—also known as El Día de Los Muertos (Day of The Dead). Being a notable holiday, this day is extremely characterized by a party, denoting the feeling of love where everyone is able to appreciate the joy through sugar skulls while indulging in the colors that represent Mexico, and allowing everyone to drift with the rhythm of the Mariachi music. Additionally, as with any Mexican celebration visitors will also be able to taste our unique and characteristic dishes of the region with a wide range of flavors and aromas within this festive space. Life by its concept must be full of experiences and therefore the participation of Inspire denotes the highest quality of the event as it generates a mountain of emotions that are to be enjoyed and lived only once, for this reason, it always seeks the best quality to make it anything less than unforgettable.

Aquatic Essence

Cancun is characterized by being surrounded by water, from the various beaches, the white sand that runs through the feet of our visitors, to our cenotes that are cared for and protected by the life that surrounds them. Hundreds of species inhabit these spaces and by living among them we can create a special bond with nature that brings all marine and aquatic essence to our spaces which gives rise to one of the best experiences. We have been participants in various scenarios over two years that have been denoted in the event space as "complicated", however, this is not a reason for the loss of quality, which is why Inspire participates maintaining the same level of quality and adapting to the various situations with which the world is changing through the years and generations.

Rainforest Nature

Nature is everything we call life, being a relationship between different species that exist within the same space, the same kingdom and the same communication where each one benefits individually and together. We’re all living beings form an ecosystem of work and benefits that support the growth of life. For this reason, it is important to be able to point out and denote that our spaces are full of life and that they can also give rise to new and new spaces, thus it is also important to care for life in order to preserve and maintain this ecosystem of ancestral creatures and creatures mythical that have coexisted in space.

A Rainforest By Natura party has as its prime objective to care and denote all that nature brings, such as the jaguar, an iconic species that is characterized by being part of the formation of cultures such as the Mayan that are participants in the region, the quetzal that It is a representative bird of Mexico and that alludes to the representation of a mythical god called Quetzalcóatl. The Rainforest By Natura Theme will connect each participant with the environment in which it is being developed. Let us remember that caring for nature is extremely important, which is why Inspire takes all its events by the hand and diversifies in search of the best quality of life for the destination.

Puerto Vallarta & Riviera Nayarit

“Average” is being replaced by original, authentic, and interactive events. Puerto Vallarta & Riviera Nayarit are no exception, at all.

A colorful Mexican fiesta will enhance your group program like no other. Festive flowers and pecked paper, candles, and traditional sweets will decorate the area. Live music and unique happenings, including award-winning dancing horses, lovely women, and gallant Mexican charros can be spotted everywhere.

Walking as couples, exactly the way it used to be in Mexico one century ago, premium Tequila and Raicilla tastings will open the appetite for gourmet delicacies, designed by extraordinary Chefs who own some of the most prestigious Restaurants in Puerto Vallarta. Color, music, and the Mexican joy for living will abound and pop up from every corner. There are many sections of the ranch that can be used, including the garden area framed by an intimate, beautiful, authentic chapel.

Now, you may ask: It sounds GREAT, but my group is really large. IVI DMC has the answer, we'll hire the extraordinary 8,000-seat “Lienzo Charro” ranch just for you, to do a full Mexican Horses show and have a unique catered dining function on-site.

The squad that continues to MAKE YOU LOOK GREAT!

Arajet has decided to open a direct route between Guatemala and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

They also said that this new operation will generate a greater flow of tourists for the two countries, as well as corporate trips "based on the open skies policy promoted by the government under the regime of Alejandro Giammattei." Arajet will complement Aeroméxico's offer that connects the Dominican Republic with Mexico City. The Dominican airline will operate from Santo Domingo on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, which officially kicked off on September 22.

Also connecting with Colombia, Arajet made its first flight on August 13 to Bogotá's El Dorado International Airport. The company will operate five routes with up to three weekly frequencies each, between the Dominican Republic and Colombia, of which two will compete with Avianca, Wingo, and Viva Air.

We love being creative and getting out of the ordinary, that's why we reinvent ourselves every time and look for the most special products for you. If you are looking for a creative, colorful, and culture-filled gift, we invite you to check out our wide variety of corporate gifts that range from alebrijes to unique ceramic handicrafts.

What our client’s have to say.

IVI did a great job staying in contact with us during our program development and planning phase. This was especially challenging given the pandemic, but they stayed in contact throughout. They were able to support our last minute needs, including providing beverages and snacks to our guests. I cannot say enough good things about the IVI staff and execution. They are professional, engaging and very accommodating, especially with last minute requests, like departure notices. IVI is an extension of our Sammons staff and we appreciate our partnership.

Stacy Bagby | VP-Sales Administration

Jaime was very responsive during the planning process and was thorough in explaining the details of our yacht charter. Our event went very smoothly from the pick up at our hotel to the drop off at dinner. Jaime and the crew of the yacht also took care of two guests who got seasick, bringing the yacht back to dock and making sure they could get a taxi back to the hotel.

Bridget Katz | Meeting Planner

Marla was extremely helpful and proactive in planning. Joaquin was terrific and always available. He made a good impression on our clients.
