ITIC Americas in Puerto Vallarta: Building Stronger Global Healthcare Partnerships

Some events leave a lasting impact long after the final session ends. ITIC Americas in Puerto Vallarta was one of them.

Puerto Vallarta Hosts ITIC Americas for the First Time

For the first time in its history, ITIC Americas, one of the world’s leading conferences for travel insurance, medical assistance, and international healthcare industries, chose Puerto Vallarta as its host city. As a proud sponsor, exhibitor, and healthcare partner, we were honored to welcome industry leaders from across the Americas to our beautiful city. Choosing Puerto Vallarta reflected the city’s growing role as one of Mexico’s leading destinations for medical tourism.

From May 31 to June 2, the Sheraton Buganvilias Hotel became the meeting point for healthcare providers and insurance companies attending this important event. Throughout three days of meaningful conversations, strategic meetings, and experiences, CMQ Hospitals strengthened relationships with international insurers, showcased our growing healthcare network, and reaffirmed our commitment to advancing medical tourism in the region. For us, being part of ITIC Americas was about more than visibility. It was an opportunity to strengthen long-term partnerships, encourage collaboration, and continue positioning Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit as destinations where world-class healthcare and exceptional hospitality come together.

Strengthening our Relationships with International Insurance Leaders

One of the most valuable outcomes of our participation in ITIC Americas 2026 was the opportunity to deepen existing relationships and forge new ones with international insurance leaders. Our team, led by Mtro. Jorge Villanueva and Dra. Leslie Swindle held a series of strategic one-on-one meetings throughout the conference that strengthened our ties with a growing number of global insurers and assistance companies.

These conversations go far beyond business development — they are the foundation of the trust that allows CMQ Hospitals to serve international patients seamlessly, ensuring that when someone needs care far from home, the right professionals are already working together on their behalf.

Puerto Vallarta as a Growing Medical Tourism Hub

Puerto Vallarta is no longer just a world-renowned leisure destination — it is rapidly establishing itself as one of Mexico’s most compelling medical tourism hubs. The selection of the city as the ITIC Americas 2026 host is a testament to its growing stature in the international healthcare landscape, and CMQ Hospitals is proud to be at the center of that transformation.

  • Accessibility: Puerto Vallarta’s international airport connects directly to major cities across North America, making it one of the most reachable destinations in Mexico for international patients and healthcare professionals alike.
  • Tourism infrastructure: World-class hotels, convention centers, and hospitality services create the ideal environment for international conferences and medical visits, ensuring a premium experience from arrival to departure.
  • Quality healthcare: With CMQ Hospitals’ multisite network, advanced diagnostics, bilingual teams, and internationally recognized standards of care, patients and partners can expect a level of medical excellence that rivals any major metropolitan center.

CMQ Hospitals: Building the Future of Healthcare

At CMQ Hospitals, our participation in events like ITIC Americas is a direct expression of our long-term vision: to expand access to world-class healthcare across the region while deepening the international partnerships that ultimately benefit our patients. Our new hospital, under construction, is the most visible symbol of that commitment — a facility built for the future, designed to serve a global community.

We remain dedicated to growing our network of trusted insurers, assistance companies, and healthcare partners around the world. Because when our partnerships are strong, our patients receive better, faster, and more seamless care — wherever they come from and wherever they need us.
