A Stepping Stone to Global Tourism Excellence
Marbella has been officially announced as the host city for the 25th World Tourism Cities Federation (WTCF) Congress, set to take place in May 2025. This prestigious event marks a significant milestone in Marbella's tourism sector, highlighting its evolving status on the international stage. Hosting the WTCF Congress not only strengthens Marbella’s global ties but also underscores its appeal as a top-tier tourist and investment destination.
The Significance of WTCF and Its Impact on Marbella
Founded in Beijing, the WTCF is a renowned international organization with 245 members across 86 countries, encompassing 164 cities and 81 institutional and corporate members. Marbella’s inclusion in this federation since 2021 underlines its strategic efforts to boost its visibility and appeal, particularly in the Asian market, with a special focus on China, a dominant force in global tourism.
Marbella's Strategic Meetings in China
In a recent trip to China, Marbella’s Mayor, Ángeles Muñoz, engaged in pivotal discussions with key figures such as Yan Han, the Deputy Secretary-General of the WTCF. These meetings, held in Guangzhou—a city with a population exceeding 120 million—were aimed at reinforcing partnerships and promoting Marbella as the European destination of choice for the Chinese market.
Collaborations and Initiatives
Mayor Muñoz’s itinerary included strategic interactions with influential individuals such as Jaime Lorenzo, Chief Advisor to the Guangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and Eduardo Alonso Luengo, the Consul General of Spain in Guangzhou. These discussions were crucial for fostering relationships and enhancing Marbella's tourism offerings. Furthermore, engagements with Ana La Fuente, Turespaña’s Tourism Counsellor in Guangzhou, emphasized Marbella's commitment to excellence and its ideal positioning as a premium European destination.
Premium Partnerships and Media Engagement
In her efforts to broaden Marbella’s tourist reach, Mayor Muñoz also met with high-profile travel agencies and media representatives at an event organized by CTRIP, China’s largest tour operator. This collaboration is part of Marbella’s initiative to develop targeted marketing campaigns aimed at the Chinese demographic, showcasing the city’s unique attractions and luxury experiences.
Marbella's Award-Winning Appeal
The recent accolade of being named the Best European Destination to Visit in 2024 by European Best Destination is a testament to Marbella's allure. This honour is not merely an award but a recognition from travellers, tourism professionals, and media outlets across Europe. It reflects Marbella’s commitment to providing a unique experience that resonates with a vast majority of international visitors.
