10 June 2022 - 19: 03

The Annual Assembly of the Spain Convention Bureau, a section of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP) specializing in MICE tourism (congresses, meetings and incentives), today announced the admission of Dénia, which is joining this network together with the cities of Cullera, Jerez and Logroño, new members as well.

The Mayor and Councilor for Tourism, Vicent Grimalt, this morning before the assembly made his defense of the candidacy of the city, whose adhesion to the Spain Convention Bureau was requested by the city council last March, within the promotion strategy of congress tourism, currently booming in Dénia, which already has more than 3.000 places for holding meetings and small congresses; strategy that in turn is part of the tourist deseasonalization actions.

The new members with the directive of the Spain Convention Bureau

En su intervención ante la asamblea del Spain Convention Bureau, que ha tenido lugar en A Coruña, en el marco del Encuentro sobre Turismo de Reuniones, el alcalde de Dénia ha destacado la oferta turística ya consolidada de la ciudad, como destino vacacional, gastronómico y experiencial, como un incentivo más para lograr también un buen «posicionamiento en este nicho de mercado del producto MICE, el turismo de reuniones, incentivos y pequeños congresos, ofreciendo una experiencia integral».

The location of Dénia and its offer, key

Contribuye a ello igualmente, ha añadido Grimalt, la ubicación de la ciudad, «a una hora de los aeropuertos de Valencia y Alicante; una amplia oferta de alojamiento turístico, con 25.000 plazas; y ser Ciudad Creativa de la Gastronomía UNESCO desde 2015, con un total de 457 restaurantes y más de 18.000 plazas a disposición de quienes nos visitan».

Por ello, a la larga y consolidada trayectoria de Dénia como destino vacacional de referencia, los esfuerzos y voluntades compartidas por el sector público y el privado de la ciudad «nos han llevado a evolucionar y querer formar parte de esta red profesional de 53 ciudades españolas de congresos».

Adherence to the Spain Convention Bureau facilitates the promotion of congress destinations as well as the training and exchange of lines of innovation and good practices in meeting tourism. Also, in collaboration with the Spanish Tourism Institute (TURESPAÑA) and the respective Foreign Tourist Offices (OET), the Spain Convention Bureau regularly organizes international promotion activities.
