The European leisure tradeshow, Euro Attractions Show, arrived in Spain for the second time, running from 20 to 22nd September in Barcelona. After it was held in Seville in 2007, in following years the show travelled around several cities in central and Northern Europe (Munich, Amsterdam, London, Berlin, Gothenburg), before heading south again.

The choice of such an internationally fashionable city such as Barcelona, promised to be a great success after the Swedish fall in numbers. Official figures from this latest 2016 edition indicate an important increase both in exhibitors (518) and visitors (12,600).

This demonstrates once again something that may seem evident: that large events, trade shows and conferences are much more attractive when accompanied by gastronomy and good weather.
