2024 America’s cup sailing race goes to: Barcelona!

Barcelona will proudly be hosting the 37th America’s cup sailing race edition in 2024. The Catalan capital has been chosen over other competitors such as a Malaga and Cork.

The New Zealand team captain Grant Dalton, winners of the last race edition, said that “Barcelona will become the world sailing capital”. The “kiwi” team has won the two last sailing races, in 2017 in Bermudas and 2021 in Auckland.

The sailing course will be set in between the W hotel and the Olympic harbour, a total length of 2 miles. The investment for the event would be around 25 million euros coming from different institutions.

Barcelona is one of the most attractive cities in the world and will become the first city to hold the Olympic games (in 1992) and the America’s cup event. The city perfectly fits for this purpose thanks to all the top facilities and technical infrastructure already existing.

Barcelona is also set to host the 2030 Winter Olympics after Spain’s Catalonia and Aragon regions reached an agreement to work together in order to present a joint candidacy.

Professional events are back in Catalonia

Events, Congresses and conventions will be resumed without the need for authorization from PROCICAT (Catalonia’s civil protection plan), as established so far. It is still necessary though to have “a contingency plan and prevention of COVID19 in accordance with the planned measures in the sector plan”. This and other improvements have been announced by Alba Vergé, Minister of Health at a press conference.

Curfew and mobility restrictions are not gone in all regions. Despite considering that the curfew would be automatically eliminated throughout the country with the end of the state of alarm, some regions have asked the Supreme Court for their support to maintain this measure, and it has been approved in the Balearic Islands (11:00 p.m.) and the Valencian Community (00: 00h). No region maintains the closure of its entire territory, but there are mobility restrictions in small towns.

Each region has its own rules for events and the situation is very different. Given that in Spain there is no state plan for the return to events after the end of the state of alarm, as if it happens in countries like France where a special de-escalation plan for events divided into 4 phases has already begun on May 6, in Spain each region establishes the rules it considers.

The breaking news is that the events situation in Catalonia will get much better from May 24th and it is expected that this unblocking will spread throughout the rest of the country.

T-Made events published in Eventos Magazine

We are proud to be part of such an important MICE magazine. T-Made events has been published in Eventos Magazine as part of an article that talks about Catalonia as MICE destination and more specifically about Costa Brava and Garrotxa nature park .

We were pleased to hold an event in that region for Continental Brazil, an incentive program that included several experiencies such as GT driving experience with tweleve sports cars or balloon flight over volcanoes in Olot, among others.

Tarragona Mediterranean Games 2018

 

In a few days the Mediterranean Games will take place in Tarragona, a port city located on the Costa Daurada by the Mediterranean Sea, 1 hour & 21 minutes driving from Barcelona. In Tarragona you can admire the vaults of the Roman circus and the charming alleys of the historic quarter. The city has a heritage of historic monuments and locations from Roman, medieval and modern eras. Tarragona reveals the essence of the Mediterranean.

Between June 22 and July 1, there will be 26 countries from three continents (19 from Europe, five from Africa and two from Asia) whose common denominator is to be coastal of the Mediterranean Sea.

These Games will house 33 different disciplines and 16 venues will be set up, most of them in Tarragona, although some disciplines will also be played in Barcelona.

Tarragona awaits the arrival of 4,000 athletes. In addition there will be present a thousand judges and representatives, thousand journalists and 3,500 volunteers that will put the Catalan city at the center of the world sports map. This multi-sport competition, which is part of the Olympic movement, with the recognition of the International Olympic Committee, is still a Second Division of the Olympic Games.

The program is limited to 33 disciplines, among which are some as unique and local as the sport of balls (bowls and petanque), or others that are not recognized as Olympic games, like water skiing or golf. On the other hand, there is a lack of traditional sports such as synchronized swimming, trampoline jumps, pentathlon or field hockey.

Athletes also see these Games as a test of demanding preparation for their individual goals, beyond the possibility of achieving a medal for their record. This thesis acquires force after the decision of the International Committee to modify part of the sports program of Tarragona 2018 for the fear that tests are disputed with a few athletes. The suppression affects nine of the 237 scheduled sports such as men’s 1,500 meters, ball sports, 125-kg wrestling, -49 kg boxing, Olympic Skeet shooting, -62 kg weightlifting and lightweight double scull rowing.

The list of cancelled tests does not imply elimination of any sport of the sports calendar, in fact that did occur in the previous edition to Mersin 2013, where the women’s basketball and the equestrian team were removed.

Barcelona business tourism beat the record in 2017

In 2017 Barcelona has made history in business tourism, the Catalan capital hosted a total of 2134 business meetings that represented an increase of 8.1% compared to the previous year. A record driven by the technology companies, which represent the conventions, and the medical and pharmaceutical events, which represent more than half of the congresses held last year in the city. It’s estimated that the local economic impact was 1,851 million euros, 21,1% more than the previous year, and the highest number since 2001.

The meetings that take place in Barcelona are mainly from large companies such as Cisco, HP or Microsoft that is following in the footsteps of the Mobile World Congress.

Of the 2134 meetings that were registered in 2017, a total of 561 were congresses and 1573 conventions. Within the first group are the Mobile or the Smart City Expo, although the medical, sanitary and pharmaceutical congresses accounted for more than 50% of what was calculated.

Barcelona has already outdone itself, in fact, in the fall of 2019, the Gran Via site will host the ultimate medical congress: the European Oncology. Until last year, it was held in Madrid and which provides for the assistance of more than 25,000 professionals.
