Sports & Events Europe began in Valencia, and for its sixth edition it comes home to the city that suits it best. An event where the sports travel industry does business needs a destination that lives sport, is easy to reach and gives every meeting a memorable setting and Valencia delivers all three.

Spain’s third-largest city is compact and well connected, with a mild Mediterranean climate and room for sport across the city — the beach, the Turia Gardens along the old riverbed, the Albufera Natural Park — and a calendar that includes a World Athletics Platinum Label marathon and MotoGP. Named European Capital of Smart Tourism, World Design Capital and European Green Capital, it knows how to welcome visitors, and its UNESCO-listed heritage and its place as the home of paella give every dinner and activity around the meetings a true local character.

For our buyers, Valencia is a destination they can experience first-hand and sell with confidence.
