\u00a0<\/span>Maria S\u00e1nchez Quintana, Promotion Executive at Sitges CB, received the award for Best Destination Promotion. <\/em>According to MPI, this award recognises work promoting a location as a MICE tourism destination, with a strong strategy that involves a creative and differential approach, passion and engagement, and that has a positive impact on the destination.<\/strong> The award coincides with the 20th<\/sup> anniversary of Sitges CB, a programme created by the Sitges municipal government\u2019s Tourism Council, and rewards the work carried out to cement Sitges as a leading meeting and conference destination. After Barcelona, it’s the top Catalan destination for meetings, and has made a name for itself in the heart of the MICE world.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The panel meeting for the 6th<\/sup> edition of the MPI Iberian Awards took place on 20 March in Barcelona, where distinguished industry professionals gathered to decide the finalists in different categories. The winners were announced on 11 April in Barcelona, during the GMID (Global Meetings Industry Day) held by MPI Iberian Chapter at the TBS Education business school campus. We wish to extend our most sincere congratulations to the other finalists, Ana Alonso (CEO of Spain is Excellence) and Jorge Trece\u00f1o (Legacy Manager al Madrid Convention Bureau).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>MPI Iberian Chapter created the MPI Iberian Awards to recognise the global impact and relevance of the meetings and events industry, as highlighted by the GMID<\/strong>. These awards, established in 2019, reflect a commitment to recognising and celebrating excellence and innovation in the MICE sector in Spain and Portugal.<\/span><\/p>\n
