However, not only tourists are included: Spain is visited by a large number of congress participants and attendees of all kinds of fairs or incentive trips. This is mainly due to the large fairgrounds available in its main cities such as IFEMA in Madrid, Fira de Barcelona in Barcelona or Feria de Valencia in Valencia.
Spain has all the necessary elements to host all kinds of events such as congresses, fairs, conventions, product launches, etc. The main reasons that help large companies or event agencies to choose or bet on Spain for their events planning are the following:
To organize a convention, event or congress in a foreign country, it is very important that it has a good communications network and that it can be easily reached. Spain has 46 international airports distributed throughout the country, an advanced road network and the most extensive high.speed train network in Europe connecting its main cities such as Valencia, Seville, Malaga, Madrid, Barcelona and Zaragoza.
In the country we find a great variety of versatile facilities equipped with the most advanced technology and communications to host events of all kinds. Auditoriums, conference centres, convention centres, stadiums, theatres, fairgrounds, multipurpose spaces, etc. are available to companies from all over the world.
The accommodation of the congress participants or attendees is also one of the most important points not only for companies interested in organizing the event but for the same DMC, PCO, event agencies, etc. who are thinking of organizing it in Spain From large 5* hotels including its most exclusive category 5*GL, the new 4* Superior category and of course all the rest that compose it as 4*, 3*, etc. The proliferation of Serviced Apartments mainly in Barcelona and Madrid is also an example of the wide range available.
Thanks to its geographical location and the diversity of its territory, Spain's climate is varied: Atlantic, Mediterranean, subtropical and mountainous. Some cities such as Barcelona, Valencia or Palma de Mallorca are constantly visited by those who wish to enjoy a warm and tempting climate most of the year.
To liven up a congress or any kind of professional event with an exquisite Andalusian gazpacho, a Valencian paella, a tomato and ham bread or some Basque appetizers sounds good, doesn't it? Spain is a region of great cooks, and you can tell by each bite you take and every little thing you taste!
In Spain we can enjoy both large cosmopolitan cities such as Valencia, Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla, Málaga, Mallorca, etc. as well as old towns full of culture and history such as Véjer de la Frontera or Aranda del Duero. Many of the locations are also prepared to host business meetings or conferences.
Incoming agencies in Spain play a very important role in this type of events, conventions and congresses, as they are in charge of organizing them by making them available to their clients (both DMC or PCO agencies, and corporate clients).
