The Convention Bureau, belonging to the Costa del Sol Tourist Board, has recently participated in a seminar held in Brussels, with the aim of promoting the area as a meeting and incentive travel destination.
Workshop format
The seminar, which was attended by 25 Spanish destinations, including the Costa del Sol, took the form of a nine-hour workshop so as to adapt to the professional commitments of the representatives from the Belgium meeting and incentive industry. Although the attendance figures were low and there were not that many buyers, contacts were made and future plans discussed.
Despite the fact that Spain is a favourite with Belgium’s business sector for organising incentives, many events are held at home or in neighbouring countries, due to budget cuts and shorter travelling time.
