In 2021, Spain hosts the INTERNATIONAL SUMMIT TRAVEL MANAGEMENT celebration, being AEGVE, the Spanish Association of Corporate Travel Managers, the introducer of the event. 

For this reason, and given the current difficulties that the corporate travel industry is going through all around the world, it is considered a unique opportunity to hold an event that will serve as a reference point for both national and international participants. 
 

Thanks to Turismo de Andalucía for hosting us, and thanks to all the attendees of the sector for trusting and joining such a crucial meeting as this one. 

We are waiting for you.

What does the Summit’s celebration mean for Cordoba in tourism matters?

​

The development of these large events in Andalusia and more specifically in Cordoba has a great effect on the territory, being able to differentiate four different large blocks of benefits:

​

• Direct economic comeback in the city of Cordoba, always interesting, but even more so in the current situation which has been 100% marked by the pandemic. 

• Indirect comeback on promotion purpose: the realization of large events with business, sports or cultural matters has an indirect benefit derived from the promotion of the destination obtained from the event’s dissemination. 

• Possibility of knowing the Cordoba offer on-site. This block refers to the phrase “an image is more valuable than a thousand words”. These actions allow hundreds of professionals in the sector to learn about the excellent Andalusian tourist offer, an especially relevant fact, both from a professional point of view (in the case of airline congress, tourist intermediaries, etc.) and personal (generating the need to repeat the trip to the destination, this time accompanied by family and/or friends). 

• Lastly, these events’ organization show an image of Andalusia as a safe destination, where to enjoy your holidays or hold meetings or events, within a safe environment that complies with all the sanitary measures in order to reduce the negative effects that Covid 19 delivered as much as possible. 

Cordoba has a unique historical legacy, with an unbeatable geographical location and excellent rail connections. The wealth of heritage (with four World Heritage Sites declared by UNESCO), cultural and gastronomic, the wide hotel and hostel offer, accompanied by an excellent complementary bargain make Cordoba a clear tourist reference, if in addition with claim that it is a safe and accessible city, make it a destination with great potential when it comes to submitting any candidacy in an enclave that makes it unique. We also must add that since 2022 there will be a Center for exhibition purpose, fairs, and conventions of (CEFC) with an up to 1,700 capacity of people and therefore Cordoba will be able to adapt to each of the clients’ needs without any problem, being able to host events of any size. 

Our objective in holding this Congress in Cordoba is to value all the potential referred to, in a city that aspires to become a benchmark for Congresses at both national and international level.

Greetings,
