Familiarisation trips
British travel agents and the BCTours company visit the destination to programme it in travel brochures.
MARCH 2014
In the first fortnight in March the Patronat de Turisme managed the visit of three managers from the excursion creation section of the company BCTours, an inbound company offering services to cruise firms on the Costa Brava. In the course of the trip, planned to present the destination and generate the programming of routes, the visits concentrated on the Alt Empordà wineries, L’Escala, Portlligat, Cadaqués, Peralada and Roses.
In addition, from 13 to 16 March, nine British travel agents invited by the Patronat de Turisme also visited the Girona region to discover, at first hand, a sample of the range of tourism on offer, particularly, the congress, meeting and incentive product. During their stay they visited Blanes, Girona, the Dalí Theatre Museum in Figueres and various places on the coast, while they also found out about tourist accommodation and congress facilities. This action coincided with the organisation of the first workshop of the year in the Costa Brava destination, where the online platform Workshops of the Costa Brava and Pirineu de Girona was put into operation.
