Aileen Laracuente

Sales and Operations Manager

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, I fell in love with the hospitality and tourism industry while managing a beachfront Inn in the west side of the Island in the town of Rincon. I am a passionate hospitality professional with vast experience in destination selling including operation, business development and account management, specializing in corporate and incentive sales.
Mexico has always been a country I admired for its passion, diverse culture and commitment to hospitality. I am thrilled to be able to expand my expertise to help clients and partners achieve their goals. My biggest reward is seeing the economic impact of the communities we service.I have been an active member in the Chicagoland MICE Community with volunteer experience including leadership roles with the Greater Midwest Chapter of PCMA , Meeting Professionals International Chicago Area Chapter and SITE Chicago. I next have the honor of being a MPICAC Board Member FY 2025-2027 and have achieved accolades including MPICAC President’s Award, Tomorrow’s Leader Award and GMC-PCMA 2020 Outstanding Service to the Chapter Award for contributions to the DEI Committee.
In my free time I love to travel with my husband and cook dishes from his native home of Morocco. My favorite place is the beach.
