The capital is participating for the ninth consecutive year in this event which allows it to promote its tourist attractions both in the premium sector and in the North American market and, at the same time, to generate networks with professionals in the luxury tourism sector. Since 2009, Madrid has been collaborating with the Virtuoso network through annual promotional campaigns and as a preferred destination for its members.

In this edition, information will be provided on the safety protocols implemented by the Madrid tourism sector with different health and risk prevention measures against COVID-19 for both workers and visitors.
It will also show the city's commitment to quality and excellence in its tourist offer, which has been adapted and renewed in the current circumstances.
