Palladium Hotel Group held the 2nd Edition of the CHIC Golf Tournament by Palladium Hotel Group in Costa Mujeres, Cancun, from August 15 to 18. The event brought together more than 50 of the main meeting planners in the Mexican market, as well as personalities from the tourism sector in Quintana Roo, who were received by the chain's directors in Mexico. The guests learned about the hospitality concept that characterizes the TRS Hotels and Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts brands, visiting two of the accommodations that make up the chain's resort in Costa Mujeres, TRS Coral Hotel and Family Selection at Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa.
Ana Bolio, Regional MICE Sr. Manager America and Linda González, Sr. Manager Sales Mexico, commented: “We are very pleased to organize this second CHIC Golf Tournament by Palladium Hotel Group as a demonstration of our interest in offering a warm and high-quality event where we meet for the second consecutive year with our friends, clients and business partners from the groups and meetings industry in Mexico.”
The official welcome was given by Sergio Zertuche, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Palladium Hotel Group, who thanked the meeting planners and attendees for their participation in this second edition of the CHIC Golf by Palladium Hotel Group tournament, and for the opportunity to allow him, on behalf of the chain, to show them the hospitality concept that has been created to serve groups, as well as organize conventions and incentive trips, which is based on comfort, gastronomic experience and a high quality of guest service.
Other executives from the hotel group who were present throughout the tournament were: Zoe Lara, Regional Sales & Marketing Sr. Director America of Palladium Hotel Group; Jair Palacios, Resort General Manager Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa; Javier Polanco, Country Sales Director Mexico of Palladium Hotel Group and Marcos Acosta, MICE Sales Manager Mexico of Palladium Hotel Group.
On Saturday, August 17, at 7:30 am, after the official photo was taken, CHIC Golf by Palladium Hotel Group began at the Playa Mujeres golf course, where attendees began the 18-hole tournament. In addition, those who wanted to learn to play this sport had the opportunity to be part of a Golf Clinic.
The gastronomic touch was present from TRS Coral Hotel, through the hydration stations on the course and a large paella on the 18th hole so that guests could share the end of the tournament with friends.
For the awards night, a dinner was organized inside CHIC Cabaret & Restaurant, where the official presentation of MIX-ICO took place, a concept created by the entertainment area as a unique bet in the destination for the groups and conventions segment. MIX-ICO is presented as a pop music concert in Spanish focused on the decades of the 80s and 90s with the particular hallmark of the house: the deployment of the cast of CHIC Cabaret & Restaurant.
“With MIX-ICO we continue to enrich our value proposition, especially for our MICE section, offering a concert with a MIX of iconic music; a memorable experience that celebrates their achievements and fosters cohesion, as well as enthusiasm in those companies and incentive trips. MIX-ICO is more than just a band, it is a journey through time,” explained Ricardo Canales, Regional Entertainment Sr. Manager America of Palladium Hotel Group.
