The Spanish Business Travel Association (IBTA) recently held a workshop in Malaga, where they visited and learned first hand about the city’s infrastructure for MICE purposes, along with Malaga Convention Bureau and Turismo Costa del Sol. We already talked about the IBTA a few months ago, when they organised the National Congress of Business Travel.
