May 2014
After Easter and the May Day long weekend, two exciting and highly successful events attracted visitors to the area in May: the 2014 Open de España and the Girona Flower Festival. The Tourist Board intensified its promotional activities aimed at travel agencies and opinion leaders in the French, German and British markets. The cruise season opened on the Costa Brava with a positive outlook for 2014. Twelve press trips and six familiarisation trips brought 106 travel professionals to the destination. And, finally, the Board gave its backing to a number of public and private cultural, gastronomic and sporting initiatives to help boost tourism in the destination.
