Lloret Turisme has travelled to Dublin to take part in the Holiday World Show, which takes place from 27 to 29 January and attracts more than 70,000 visitors, including both professionals and the general public.
Lloret Turisme is attending with the Costa Brava Girona Tourist Board and the Catalan Tourism Agency, and has already held meetings with various tour operators such as Sunway, the country’s leading tour operator, which will be operating in Lloret de Mar for the first time this season. Ireland has connections to Girona Airport from the country’s four main airports, starting operations from Dublin and Cork this April. For Elizabeth Keegan, manager of Lloret Turisme, “this is a new opportunity to attract a loyal, family-oriented tourist who is looking for sun and sand and who values the complementary offerings such as culture and gastronomy”.
This week Lloret Turisme also travelled to Pontevedra to monitor the European project Greentour: Circular Economy and Sustainable Tourism in Destinations in the SUDOE area, of which Lloret de Mar is a partner and which has involved around fifteen accommodation, catering and activity companies in the destination.
The Lloret Convention Bureau, a division specialising in the promotion of meetings and events in Lloret de Mar, travelled to the province of Malaga this week to carry out a series of sales visits with YT Serveis, a representation company. The action has made it possible to visit 15 event organising agencies in the south of Spain in the cities of Málaga, Torremolinos and Benalmádena.
