Tourism Circle

The Tourism Circle works together with businesspeople and destinations in the regions of Barcelona in order to carry out effective, coordinated tourism marketing actions. Its goal is to generate tourism business, employment and sustainable economic development as efficiently as possible. To achieve this goal, the Tourism Circle focuses on three core strategies: sharing knowledge, fostering the relationship between businesspeople and destinations, and carrying out promotional actions.
