Fairs

The launch of the campaign “Galicia, the way to sustainability” is the first activity planned in the Xunta’s space after the inaugural event “Xacobeo 21-22. Walk to Galicia”.

The Galician stand at Fitur, the international tourism fair whose 42nd edition will be held from 19 to 23 January at the Ifema facilities, will host around fifty presentations aimed at publicising Galicia’s extensive and varied tourism offer. Administrations and public organizations at local, regional, provincial and autonomous community level, associative entities, companies and other diverse groups will have space and time at the stand of more than 1,000 square metres prepared by the Xunta for the first three days of the fair (those reserved for professionals in the sector) to present the initiatives with which they promote their destinations.

The Galicia Tourism Cluster will be there once again, and will also be in charge of opening the activities programmed at the Galician stand after the opening ceremony which will take place on Wednesday at midday under the title “Xacobeo 21-22. Walk to Galicia”.
