Two of the main goals of the SCB are national and international promotion of the local entities and conference cities that constitute the “Spain Convention Bureau” brand and national and international advertising of its members’ joint publications and actions.
COOPERATION AND COLLABORATION
The SCB works on a regular basis to ensure that there is close cooperation among its associates, through the exchange of good practices and information about past or future events, experiences, ideas, studies, and publications related to congresses, conferences, and incentives travel.
The SCB collaborates and cooperates with Public Administrations, associations, and sectoral institutions to define strategic goals and a comprehensive policy for meeting tourism.
