At last, we were able to take part again in events in the French capital in October.

The first stop was the Pure Meetings & Events, which we attended with the Hotel Camiral – 5* Hotel at PGA Catalunya Resort. Once again, contacting the French organisers was a very positive experience, who listened to the Costa Brava and Girona Pyrenees’ MICE proposal with great interest.

The 14 interviews held during this event generated four requests for information. We took away some very encouraging sensations from this first face-to-face action targeting the French market.

This was followed by the leading tourism fair in France, the IFTM Top Resa. This fair encompasses leisure, business and event tourism. This year, the organisers offered 33,000 square metres of exhibition space and 34,000 professionals registered to attend.

The Costa Brava Girona Tourist Board, which was taking part in this fair for the first time, had a 42-square metre stand of its own, at which we were accompanied by six companies that are members of the Costa Brava Girona Tourist Board.
