Mr. Joan Gaspart, President of the Barcelona Tourisme Convention Bureau, said: “Barcelona as a European city has a lot of promise for the future.

As one of the world’s leading tourist centers with influences in commerce, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science, the arts, and sport, Barcelona is the ideal city for meetings, events, conferences, and in our case, EIBTM.”
