Catalonia is innovation, dynamism and business. It is also tradition, culture and experience. A pioneer territory in the industrial, commercial and service fields. And it is also a Mediterranean environment, welcoming, diverse and open to the world. An ideal business destination for the sum of different characteristics that come, on the one hand, by the territory, and on the other, by the constant effort and international recognition. The Catalan territory is marked by the Mediterranean, a great geographical diversity and the capital of Barcelona, a unique city and a world reference. Continued work has done the rest, turning tradition into experience, and experience into business opportunity and reality.

Catalonia has 4 international airports that have received more than 50 million passengers in the last year: Barcelona - El Prat International Airport Girona - Costa Brava Airport Lleida - Alguaire Airport Reus - Costa Daurada Airport

Why Catalonia? Because it offers a magnificent network of congress centers, conventions, fairgrounds and environments, with a wide range of unique indoor and outdoor spaces adapted and equipped to host all kinds of personalized meetings and events. Its strategic location favors its open character, and the climate becomes the great ally, with more than 300 days of sunshine a year and a privileged combination of sea and mountains that allows endless activities. Catalonia is home to very different attractions in the same environment: cities, nature, culture, shopping, relaxation and well-being, luxury, sea, mountain sports, golf ... And gastronomy, one of its great values, both for the wealth served in the table available to everyone, as by the influence and international renown of the great chefs of the land. An active economy, a great organizational capacity that has been demonstrated in international events such as IBTM World, which for 16 consecutive years has made Barcelona the world capital of business tourism and makes Catalonia a mirror for the MICE world.

Rural and urban environments. Small charming villages with squares and arcades that bear the testimony of thousands of years of rural life. Cities of different sizes that are inspired by visitors and offer creativity, innovation and an open spirit based on centuries and centuries of urban life. A contrast between the more rural surroundings and the more urban streets, just a few kilometers away. It is Barcelona, one of the most desired capitals worldwide, a benchmark in culture, innovation, design; a smart city that also preserves a solid social fabric that maintains the most indigenous traditions. It is also Girona, Lleida, Tarragona; the other three provincial capitals that lead interesting sociocultural movements, leaders and pointers, but who know how to look at their past by building castles, growing fruit trees, pampering the vineyards to produce the best wines or giving shape and color to ceramics. All this and much more. Above all, Catalonia is plurality and diversity of territories.
