The presentation, which will take place at 1 p. m. at the IBTM World’s Espacio Dome, and will be led by journalist Silvia Jato from Lugo, will show international operators the potentialities and infrastructures of Galicia for congress tourism. The event is promoted by OPC Galicia (Organizadores Profesionales de Congresos), the Association of Galician Congress Centres, HOSPECO (A Corunna’s Hotel Business Association), ASEHOPO (Asociación de Empresarios de Hospedaje de la provincia de Pontevedra) and Galicia Destino Golf.
