VIRTUAL SPAIN: Interactive discoveries abound

April 10 and 11 will see TURESPANA, through the Tourist Office of Spain, host the third edition of Conexion Spain Virtual (“Virtual Connection Spain”), an interactive trade show showcasing Spain as a leisure and convention tourism destination. Geared toward consumers, travel professionals and those planning or thinking of a trip to Spain, the two-day virtual trade show will feature more than 40 exhibitors from Spain or selling Spain in interactive booths, where the visitor may look around, download brochures, start a chat conversation, pick up or leave a business card, request further information, set up Skype meetings and make online reservations. There will also be live webcasts by such guest speakers as culinary expert Annie Sibonney. Visitors will have a chance to chat live with suppliers and CVBs from over 14 Spanish regions and cities. Exhibitors will offer prizes, including two round-trip packages. (http://www.conexionvirtualspain.com)
