The magazine can be accessed at www.meetinspainmagazine.com at any time, without special subscription. Although it primarily targets meeting planners, specialized media, MICE companies, and tourism marketing professionals, Meet in Spain is open to consumers as well.
Published in ten editions per year, this first volume – the introductory edition – features general information and current highlights about the MICE industry (meetings, incentives & conventions) in Spain. Future editions will focus on more specific topics, such as cities and regions within Spain, singular venues, incentive packages, and seasonal offers; content will be prepared with the collaboration of convention bureau, accommodations and destination management companies in each targeted area.
In addition, permanent sections will be maintained, updated with cultural and event calendars, local deals, and promotional events in which the TOS Chicago is involved.
“Our magazine is an example of one of the latest tourism marketing trends,” said Jorge Rubio Navarro, consul in charge of tourism affairs and director of the TOS in Chicago….”and forms part of a global strategy of leveraging innovation and modern technology as an educational, promotional and marketing tool for Spain.”
