Promoting business tourism

We promoted the Costa Brava's business tourism options to European and North American professionals at the InVoyage Girona-Costa Brava and Pure International Meetings & Events.

From 17 to 21 March, 150 corporate events and incentive trips organisers from Europe and the United States came to the Costa Brava for the InVoyage Girona Costa Brava event, which was held at the destination for the first time. This event included two workshops at Camiral Golf & Wellness, the exclusive lecture "Our unbeatable recipe as a wine and gastronomy destination", given by Joan Roca, chef and owner of the restaurant El Celler de Can Roca, Eugeni Llos, Perelada Resort's general manager, and Lluís Garcia, manager of El Bulli 1846, followed by an extensive programme of experiential tours and fam trips through which the participants were introduced to the province of Girona's range of specific and complementary activities. The action was supported by the Catalunya Convention Bureau.

Together with six members, the Costa Brava Girona Convention Bureau also took part in the Pure International Meetings & Events workshop in Paris, where meetings were held with a score of specialist European agencies, mostly French. 

Prior to the Pure workshop, an exclusive networking lunch was also organised in Paris between club members (Park Hotel San Jorge by Escampa Hotels, Sallés Hotels, Brava Hoteles, Hotels CMC, Evenia Hotels, Hotel Casa Anamaria, Hotel Azure, Lloret Convention Bureau and Hotel TorreMirona Golf & Spa and Alàbriga Hotel & Home Suites) and a dozen Paris-based event organising agencies.
