Costa Brava Trade Week

130 tourism professionals in Girona participate in the second promotional and commercial Costa Brava Girona Trade Week conference

The Costa Brava Trade Week conference was celebrated on 27 October at the Hotel AC Palau de Bellavista by Marriott Girona. Organised by the Costa Brava Girona Tourist Board, the event aims to raise awareness about the destination in three foreign tourism markets –France, Britain and Germany– as well as to promote the region’s specific products of golf, culture and active and nature tourism. Thematic conferences dedicated to the markets and products were led by renowned tour operators and managers of tourist promotion centres in Catalonia. A workshop for participating companies and organisations from Girona and 16 incoming travel agencies in Catalonia was held in the afternoon. It was also attended by representatives from a number of websites and initiatives that can facilitate work for owners and managers: Booking, Tripadvisor, Catalunya Experience and Insetur. The session aimed to serve as a space where companies and agencies could meet, exchange information and create combined product packages. The Tourist Board highly values the content and conclusions drawn from the conference, noting that there is still much to be done jointly by the public and private sectors.
