Trade fairs
The Board participates in three international events devoted to the golf, wellness and wine-tourism sector.
OCTOBER 2023
From 16 to 18 October the most important professional fair in the golf sector, IGTM, was held in Lisbon, Portugal. Attending the event were the Golf Costa Brava Marketing Club and eight companies from Girona’s golf sector to promote the destination’s specific services and facilities among the professionals visiting the fair. Over the course of three days, working sessions were carried out to create new business opportunities and keep abreast of trends in the sector. Around forty meetings were held with tour operators from the UK, Germany, France and the Nordic countries, among others.
Later, from 24 to 27 October, the Synergy - The Retreat Show took place in Cancún, Mexico. This specialised wellness sector fair and conference was attended by the Health and Wellness Marketing Club to promote the destination’s wellness options and specifically its retreats, together with Hotel Camiral, in Caldes de Malavella.
Finally, from 27 to 29 October, the Board took part for the first time in the Andorra la Vella Fair, in Andorra, to promote the Costa Brava and the wine-tourism attractions of the DO Empordà Wine Route among this neighbouring market and those visiting the principality. During the fair the Board arranged two presentations of the destination with a wine tasting. With the aim of capturing new clients, visitors to the fair were invited to take part in a prize draw to win a wine-tourism stay on the Costa Brava.
