Spanish business tourism and MICE industry development

Overview

Spain is implementing various initiatives to strengthen its position in the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) sector. Regional efforts include Catalonia’s ‘EVENTS Days Catalunya’, which connects French event planners with Spanish hospitality providers to solidify the region’s role as a European corporate hub.

In Ibiza, the sixth edition of the Ibiza MICE Summit was held in Santa Eulària under the theme ‘The future is human’. The summit brought together approximately 120 attendees from various European nations to discuss the economic impact of large-scale events and the necessity of sustainable growth.

Discussions at the summit focused on the human element of the industry amidst technological advances. A key topic was the upcoming generational shift, with experts noting that by 2030, the majority of the workforce will consist of Millennials and Generation Z, requiring new management and recruitment strategies.
