From today to Saturday, Santiago is hosting the annual training seminar organised by the Grupo Europa business association, made up of 350 independent travel agencies with more than 450 outlets all over Spain. The seminar, which features the collaboration of the Compostela Catering Association and Santiago Tourism, will involve the participation of more than 200 agency representatives.
The seminar will also, in the group’s opinion, serve to promote the Compostela Holy Year since delegates will be able to encourage visits to Santiago de Compostela’s old town once they return to their workplaces.
The Grupo Europa association was established in 1998 with two main objectives: joint negotiation with suppliers and improving their members’ professionalism in order to compete with large-scale agencies.
This seminar is the group’s main training initiative and Santiago was chosen due to its architectural charm, its gastronomy as well as the hospitality of its residents.
