The city is a popular tourist destination worldwide, attracting millions of tourists each year.

Other disciplines are also a major attraction for tourism and the city boasts a number of world-renowned sporting events such as the <\/span>Barcelona Tennis Open<\/span><\/a> and the <\/span>Barcelona Marathon<\/span><\/a>, which was held on 19 March.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px|||||” custom_padding_tablet=”|60px||60px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|40px||40px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.shuttletosun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Viaje-Negocios-4.jpg” alt=”Viaje Negocios” title_text=”Viaje Negocios” force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n These are just a few examples of the many congresses that take place in Barcelona every year. All of them have in common the fact that they attract thousands of attendees and have a great impact on the city’s economy. Congresses generate employment and attract companies and professionals from all over the world, which contributes to Barcelona’s international projection as a leading city in the events sector.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Another destination on Costa Dorada popular for attracting business from many parts of Europe is <\/span>Salou<\/span><\/b>. With<\/span> Reus airport<\/span><\/b> only 15 minutes away and <\/span>Barcelona airport<\/span><\/b> only an hour’s drive away, Salou is an easily accessible destination from many parts of Europe. In addition, the town has good public transport connections, making it easy to travel within the town and to other nearby areas.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This jewel of Costa Dorada contains a wide range of accommodation options. From the <\/span>PortAventura Convention Center<\/span><\/b> located in PortAventura World, which hosts a wide range of congresses, conventions and events, to places like <\/span>La Boella <\/span><\/b>or <\/span>Infinitum<\/span><\/b> where tradition and innovation in this sector are mixed. Many of these accommodations and venues are located close to the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea, providing a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere after a day’s work. Event organisers can customise the experience to suit the company’s needs.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px|||||” custom_padding_tablet=”|60px||60px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|40px||40px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” min_height=”181.8px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”3px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Sometimes, poor travel planning or last-minute problems can lead to stressful and uncontrolled situations.
