Business in Paris

THE Valencia Tourism Agency has been in Paris to promote business tourism in the region.
The agency attended the Tourism Incentives, Meetings, Conferences and Events (MICE) fair, organised by the Spanish Tourist Office in the French capital to show what Valencia has to offer, and was joined by companies from Alicante and Elche.
Business tourism is a growing sector. In 2014 foreign tourists made a total of 317,021 trips for business purposes at a cost of €304 million. These figures represent a 15% increase in the number of business tourists compared to 2013, and a growth of 8.4 per cent in spending. The French market is experiencing the most growth. Spaniards made more than half a million work and business trips to the Valencia Community.
Valencia receives annually more than 1,200 meetings, conferences and conventions.
