The VI Turespaña Convention concluded in Zaragoza, where officials focused on internationalization, public-private collaboration, and the integration of artificial intelligence in tourism marketing. During the event, Secretary of State for Tourism Rosario Sánchez and Turespaña Director General Miguel Sanz announced that Tarragona has been selected to host the VII Turespaña Convention in October 2027.

The selection of Tarragona emphasizes its Mediterranean heritage and UNESCO World Heritage status. The convention also served as a platform for discussing sustainable tourism models, such as ‘respeturismo’—a model described by Asturias Vice President Gimena Llamedo as being “centered on ordered growth, sustainability, and the preservation of regional identity.”
