BARCELONA, THIRD CITY IN THE WORLD WITH MORE CONGRESSES
The good position of Barcelona as a destination of congresses and meetings is increasingly more evident and, recently, the Catalan capital has been placed in third position in the prestigious world ranking drawn up by the ICCA (International Congress and Convention Association) to establish which are the most relevant cities and states in MICE tourism (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions). Specifically, Barcelona organised 180 events during 2015 and is placed ahead of other very important destinations in the sector such as Vienna or London.
The Catalan city was hot on the heels of the first two in the ranking —Berlin (195) and Paris (186)— and acts as a pole of attraction to boost the organisation of events all over Catalonia. In this link you can consult the ranking of the ICCA, which also highlights the fourth position of Spain, placed behind the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom.
