🌟 Exciting News from the ICCA Country and City Rankings for 2023! 🌍| We are thrilled to share the remarkable advancements in the ICCA rankings for 2023, highlighting Porto's ascent as a hub for international conferences and events. This year, #Porto has risen to the 23rd spot in the global meetings industry, hosting 68 major events and proving its status as a top meeting destination. It also advanced from 22nd to 18th in Europe, becoming the second favorite among non-capital cities, but the number one destination among all cities that belong to the EU CVB Network. This recognition is a testament to Porto's vibrant, dynamic environment and its growing appeal in the global meetings industry. #Braga, #Guimarães, and #Matosinhos have seen significant jumps in their standings, with Braga soaring 117 places. These cities are emerging as competitive players, demonstrating robust capabilities in hosting international events. The strategic efforts in enhancing our infrastructures, services, and organizational capacity have prepared us to meet the diverse needs of every event profile. Our region is not only working to strengthen our presence in significant international networks but also digitalizing our services and intensifying networking actions. These achievements reflect our unyielding dedication to capturing and supporting MICE opportunities, according to Luis Pedro Martins, the president of Visit Porto and North of Portugal - Convention & Visitors Bureau. "There is no doubt that this sector is a significant lever for tourism due to its multiplier effect on other tourism segments and its role in energizing other economic sectors," emphasis. Just as our Ofelia de Souza says, "Trust us darling...We Know" that Porto and North of Portugal is the wise choice for your events and meetings. 😉 #visitportoandnorth #ICCA #RankingICCA #ICCACountryandCityRankings
