Following a record Routes Americas in Denver which welcomed over 650 delegates, notching a 45 per cent growth year on year, Denver International Airport has officially handed the event over to the US Commonwealth of Puerto Rico the host destination for the 9th Routes Americas event.
Building on the success of this year’s event, Routes Americas 2016 will take place 7-9 February 2016 in San Juan. The event, which is the route development forum for the entire Americas region, will be hosted by Puerto Rico Tourism Company with the support of their partners Aerostar Airport Holdings and MeetPuertoRico.
“The Puerto Rico Tourism Company and our partners Aerostar Airport Holdings and MeetPuertoRico are looking forward to hosting Routes Americas for the first time, and to showcase all that Puerto Rico has to offer. With over 110 non-stop flights from 40 countries it is easier than ever to join us at Routes Americas 2016,” said Ingrid I. Rivera Rocafort, Executive Director, Puerto Rico Tourism Company.
“Following this year’s record event in Denver where we’ve experienced unprecedented growth we’re very excited to be taking Routes Americas to Puerto Rico next year. The complete remodelling of Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, the largest and busiest airport in the Caribbean, will be ready for showcasing in 2016 and will provide excellent connectivity for our delegates from both North and South America. We look forward to working with Puerto Rico Tourism Company and all of their partners over the coming months towards another successful Routes Americas event,” said Katie Bland, Director Routes, UBM EMEA.
