The event took place in Pabellón de la Navegación, on Isla de la Cartuja, and was attended by a selection of the leading high-end hotel, lifestyle, independent and boutique hotel, unique travel experience and DMC brands. The fair also featured an official reception at the Palacio del Marqués de la Motilla.
“The first edition of Emotions in 2019 marked a turning point in Seville’s strategy to position itself as one of the premium tourist destinations in Europe, a destination with enormous potential, and one in which the private sector has made a significant investment, continuously coming up with new experiential tourism products and innovative services aimed at creating all kinds of exciting offers to surprise and satisfy even the most demanding public”, explained Francisco Páez, a delegate from the Economy, Trade and Tourism department.
The CEO of Emotions Travel Community (ETC), Agustina Trucco, also expressed her enthusiasm at having the city as the European partner and venue for the event, which, she underlined, is “of strategic importance for promoting luxury tourism in the area, and one of the most exclusive and important congresses in the sector”.
