Promotional activities in Belgium

120 travel agents and 20 Belgian journalists attended the Costa Brava and Girona Pyrenees tourism presentation for the 2016 season

The exhibition space at the Delegation of the Government of Catalonia to the European Union in Brussels closed the “Dalí, Breaking News” exhibit midday on 1 March with a special visit by the Belgian media followed by a presentation of the destination and a cocktail prepared by the La Cuina del Vent collective. Later that afternoon a workshop on the Costa Brava and Girona Pyrenees was held at the Hotel Métropole in the European capital, where 15 Girona organisations and companies presented the destination’s specific products for the 2016 season to Belgian tour operators. This professional meeting and exchange was followed by an audiovisual presentation on the destination and ended with a dinner of Girona products prepared by the La Cuina del Vent collective. Motivated by the quality of the tourism options in Girona, competitive prices and the instability in countries like Greece and Turkey, the number of tourists to Girona destinations is expected to increase in the 2016 season.
