Catalonia holds the first Biosphere Destination certification as an integral tourist destination, awarded by the Responsible Tourism Institute, an organization supported by UNESCO. In this regard, the Catalunya Convention Bureau (CCB) is identifying and promoting practices which make optimal use of environmental resources, respect the socio-cultural authenticity of host communities and provide socio-economic benefits to all stakeholders that are fairly distributed. 

This year the Lloret Convention Bureau celebrates its tenth anniversary. During this time, Lloret de Mar has become one of the most attractive tourism destinations for meetings tourism in southern Europe, with more than 30,000 hotel beds, 3 conference and congress centres (the largest with a capacity for 1000 people) and more than 80 meeting rooms with natural lighting and sea views.

Zaragoza is a crossroad that makes the city the Spanish MICE epicenter, just 300km away from other main cities. It is a charismatic place which brings together the advantages of a large city without the inconveniences of an enormous metropolis. In Zaragoza shopping is fun, gastronomy a pleasure and nightlife pure joy. You can play golf, sunbathe in the artificial beach, enjoy a multi-adventure park, shop in the MAPIC Prize awarded best commercial center or attend one of the oldest cabarets in Europe.

Conference tourism is taking on an increasingly international flavor in San Sebastián

MICE tourism, or “Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions” tourism, is growing on a yearly basis in San Sebastián and is becoming increasingly international in its scope. San Sebastián Turismo & Convention Bureau is a firm supporter of conference tourism due to its strong potential for growth and the valuable contribution that it makes to the promotion of the city as a year-round destination with an international outlook.

53.15% of conferences held in San Sebastián in 2017 were of an international character. Events of this type lend San Sebastián an important visibility and positioning in foreign markets. Many of the conferences were held outside of the peak tourist season, with 72% of conferences being held between January-May and September-December.

San Sebastián occupies the 6th position in the ICCA 2017 ranking for Spain which evaluates cities that regularly host events involving at least 3 countries and at least 50 delegates.
