Flagships Events
As a model for Smart Tourism and the MICE sector, every year we host main Smart Tourism events (TIS, GSTC...) that bring in more than 15,000 congress participants., companies and professionals from the sector. We will use this opportunity to spread our Smart Tourism messages..
Transferability Events
In support of the flagship events, we will hold meetings actions that aim to share the most innovative trends and practices of Smart Tourism to other audiences:
“Smart Talks”. These talks are directed at the local tourism ecosystem and citizens with support from academic and research institutions (US and JRC) to discuss and drive the new Sevilla Visitor Economy Strategy.
Cities Networks Events. Thanks to our Smart Tourism Destination status and active presence in cities networks we will host thematic or annual meetings inviting representatives from previous European Capitals of Smart Tourism Capital and shorlistedcandidate cities to foster a knowledge exchange between national and European public employees and policy makers.
Promotional Events
We will share our vision of Smart Tourism and the values of Shared Seville at the main global tourism events for sector professionals (WTM, ITB, Fitur, etc.).
We have been recognised for our cultural expression (the Fair, Easter Week) and big events (European Film Festival). We will exploit the attention from visitors, residents and the media that these events attract to carry out marketing campaigns publicizing the values of Smart Tourism.
STC Activities
We will run specific activities for residents and visitors associated with official EU celebrations to highlight the European dimension of the award and to spread your Smart Tourism vision. The Smart Tourism Urban Lab will host an activity for entrepreneurs and start-ups.
