BUSINESS TOURISM

Extremadura as a business tourism destination is a place which brings together innovation and development, its ancestral customs and its cultural-historical heritage in perfect harmony. It stands out from the rest of the country owing to the quality of life it provides for its inhabitants and we invite you all to enjoy and take part in the potential that Extremadura offers for the business tourism sector.

Extremadura is a charming place thanks to its natural attractions. Within a few kilometres you can go from its high mountains covered with snow to its magnificent valleys divided by gorges and springs with crystalline water and cherry trees in blossom; from broad semi-desert moorland to exceptional pastureland covered with holm oaks, gall oaks and cork oaks; from Monfragüe Natural Park, the bastion of the Mediterranean forest and an example of conservationism, to the splendid fertile lowlands of Las Vegas del Guadiana, the paradigm of the most advanced agriculture.

As well as its natural attractions, Extremadura offers a great cultural diversity which has made this land one of the few in which historical-cultural proposals so dissimilar in time and so close in distance can co-exist. We can breathe in the history of a region in the streets and the cities with their monuments and buildings and we are expanding the patrimony with alternative and innovative artistic initiatives, consolidating it as a pioneering region in avant-garde and contemporary tendencies.

There is diversity and innovation in all fields which is reflected on the dinner table, with a commitment to colour and originality in the cuisine of Extremadura which still conserves the essence of the quality of the product. We should highlight the products par excellence of the region with renowned international prestige, such as the Torta del Casar cheese, the Cerezas del Jerte cherries and the Jamón Dehesa de Extremadura ham.

There has been appreciable technological progress in the road and urban development projects in the region, the best example of this being the extension of the road network. Its Spanish-Portuguese border location promotes the generation of business, expanding expectations in the sector market, thereby providing a further component of business tourist interest. Extremadura as a tourist destination has a hotel infrastructure suitable for holding all kinds of business tourism promotional events. These are services whose emblem is professionalism and the homogenization of quality services.

Similarly, we do not neglect the leisure and entertainment aspect of the business tourism sector; we place special emphasis on sports activities, among which there are traditional activities such as hunting and fishing as well as more modern pastimes such as adventure sports and golf. Moreover, other incentives offered by Extremadura for the business tourist include the availability in the region of magnificent trade fair institutions, conference centres and other business organizations which have a great operational functionality, representative of the sector, for events of renowned prestige with a high level of international participation. They are institutions which also introduce an innovative design into the aesthetics of these kinds of areas, dynamizing and beautifying the image of the region.
