ITIC Americas in Puerto Vallarta: Strengthening our Global Healthcare Partnerships
For the very first time in its history, ITIC Americas chose Puerto Vallarta as its host destination — and CMQ Hospitals was there every step of the way. From co-sponsoring the Welcome Party to participating as exhibitors and strategic healthcare partners, our presence at this landmark conference reflects our unwavering commitment to collaboration, innovation, and the continued growth of medical tourism in the Riviera Nayarit region.
Puerto Vallarta Hosts ITIC Americas for the First Time
In a historic milestone, ITIC Americas selected Puerto Vallarta as the host destination for its annual international conference — the first time in the event’s history that this vibrant Pacific coast city has taken center stage. Held from May 31 to June 2, 2026, at the Sheraton Buganvilias Hotel and Convention Center, the conference brought together leading professionals from the global travel insurance, assistance, and international healthcare industries.
CMQ Hospitals proudly co-sponsored the Welcome Party that opened the conference, and participated throughout as exhibitors and healthcare partners, reinforcing our commitment to collaboration and to positioning Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit as a benchmark destination for medical tourism excellence.
Hospital CMQ’s Presence at ITIC Americas
Our exhibition space was designed to be more than just a booth — it was an invitation. With a cozy and welcoming setup that encouraged visitors to stop, sit, and truly connect with our team, we created an environment where conversations flowed naturally and relationships were built with intention. Attendees from insurance companies, assistance organizations, and healthcare networks from across the Americas and Europe had the opportunity to learn firsthand about our facilities, our services, and the care we provide to international patients every day.
Throughout the conference, our team engaged in strategic meetings that elevated CMQ Hospitals’ international visibility and opened the door to new partnerships. Participation in ITIC Americas is not just about presence — it is about demonstrating that CMQ Hospitals is a reliable, forward-thinking partner for any insurer or assistance company operating in our region.
An Unforgettable Night: CMQ Riviera Nayarit Hospital Tour
As part of the conference activities, we had the privilege of hosting more than 30 international attendees on a specially curated tour of our facilities. The experience began with a scenic turibus ride to our new Hospital CMQ Fluvial — currently under construction — giving guests an exclusive first look at the future of healthcare infrastructure in the region.
The tour then continued to Hospital CMQ Riviera Nayarit, where attendees experienced firsthand the infrastructure, technology, and medical quality that define our network. From our diagnostic imaging capabilities to our emergency services and specialized units, every element of the visit was designed to show what world-class care looks like in Puerto Vallarta.
The evening culminated in an exclusive rooftop gathering on our terrace, where guests enjoyed a spectacular Pacific sunset alongside expertly crafted cocktails and canapés — all while networking with fellow industry professionals in one of the most beautiful settings the region has to offer.

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, 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.
