Many services are necessary for the success of any business trip to Andalusia. And our agency can provide them all. Below, we show you some of the most common ones, which will be of great help, whether you travel alone or with your professional team.
Andalucía Exclusiva’s business trips always provide you with the best accommodation, those that best suit the needs of your expedition. In this regard, we can handle all the details for your stay in a top-category hotel with meeting rooms and other facilities for companies and events. But if you are looking for accommodation with special charm that allows you to disconnect from an intense workday, we can also book lofts, studios, apartments in the historic center, or even luxury villas with pools, among many other options. And always in strategic locations, allowing you to travel comfortably and quickly to the destination that motivated the trip: a fair, a bilateral meeting, etc.
One of our agency’s great specialties is tailor-made private transport. And this service perfectly fits business trips to Andalusia. We will take care of offering you the best option for your transfers, from the moment of your arrival until your departure: airport transfers, chauffeured vehicles with hotel pick-up, minivans or buses for large work teams, etc. In addition, we not only offer the possibility of road travel but also manage high-speed train tickets, first-class flights, or even helicopter transfers.
With Andalucía Exclusiva, all your meals and those of your team will meet your expectations. We can arrange with the hotel the type of board that best suits your work routine (with breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner), but we can also select the best restaurants in the city where you are staying. And if you need a tailor-made catering service to cover the needs of a large event, our agency will also take care of it. We will select establishments and suppliers that provide quality raw materials so that each meal is a pleasant moment to recharge your energy.
This is another common service for business trips to Andalusia, as it is a cosmopolitan region that receives visitors from all corners of the world, many of them for work reasons. From North America to Northern Europe, passing through the Middle East, China, Russia, and many other strategic regions of the planet. And to ensure fluid communication, our agency provides you with translators and interpreters in the language you desire and for the task you need. For example, sworn translators if you want to review or prepare official documents. Or simultaneous interpreters for large conferences. Or perhaps experts in consecutive interpreting for press conferences, liaison interpreting for an interpersonal meeting, or whispered interpreting for visiting an industrial plant.
Although this professional is often associated with private matters, such as shopping days in fashion boutiques, the truth is that there are many other profiles oriented towards the business world. For example, those specialized in the real estate sector, who will advise you on issues such as the price per square meter, the particularities of the property’s area, or the characteristics of the land in question.
This professional is of great help on business trips to Andalusia, as they provide the best support for small details that, nonetheless, often make a difference. Last-minute errands, claims for incidents at the airport or hotel, urgent service reservations… It can be said that your concierge will be our best link and your trusted person during your stay in Southern Spain.
And if you need any other service to make an impact at an important meeting or to sway a key agreement in your favor, you can ask us for help and advice. The options are very varied, whatever your travel destination. For example, renting a yacht to discuss confidential details at sea. Or perhaps a personalized gift to entertain a strategic contact. Or, why not, a private flamenco show to break the ice before a negotiation. Anything you can imagine for your business trip through Andalusia will come true with our agency.
Many services are necessary for the success of any business trip to Andalusia. And our agency can provide them all. Below, we show you some of the most common ones, which will be of great help, whether you travel alone or with your professional team.
As you well know from your own experience, each business trip is different: it has its own motivations and objectives, which requires tailor-made planning. And that is precisely what our agency does. By way of illustration, below we show you some types of business trips in Andalusia that we can organize for you:
Trips to attend congresses and large-scale events
Many sectoral fairs and other professional events with numerous visitors are organized annually in this region
Commercial trips
Usually carried out by sales or purchasing department personnel, these are trips made to visit suppliers or potential clients
Bilateral meetings
Their objective is to establish negotiations that can only be carried out in person, such as signing a strategic agreement for the company. These are normally carried out by company executives.
Incentive trips
These have a very different character from the previous ones, as they are a prize or reward for employees of a company or department for successfully achieving their objectives. These trips are always organized to destinations with special charm, where they can live unique experiences not available in their places of origin. And Andalusia has everything to meet these requirements: beaches, excellent gastronomy, day and night leisure, folklore, nature…
Teambuilding
This is another option with its own particularities, which also fits the concept of business trips to Andalusia. In this case, these are experiences organized by large companies away from their facilities with the intention of strengthening bonds among their team members. These experiences range from aquatic activities to nature routes, including local cuisine showcooking or express flamenco courses.
Of all the business trips to Andalusia, many correspond to the first category mentioned above. Attending large fairs and congresses is very common here, whether by professionals from Spain or other countries. This is because Andalusia is one of the country’s engines, both for its demographic weight (it is the most populated region) and its economic weight (the third largest contributor to the national GDP), with special importance in certain sectors such as tourism or food. Therefore, it is no coincidence that all provinces have large exhibition facilities for this type of event. Below, we review them.
The Andalusian capital is, logically, one of the region’s major business hubs. For this reason, many come on business trips to Seville. Here is the most important exhibition center in Southern Spain: FIBES or the Congress and Exhibition Palace. Evidence of this includes political summits held here, such as that of the major leaders of the European Union in 2002 or NATO defense ministers in 2007.
It is located just 3 km from San Pablo airport and has over 110,000 m2 distributed in 3 pavilions and 71 rooms. One of the main annual events organized here is SICAB (International Horse Show), which represents one of the great meeting places for equestrian enthusiasts and professionals, leveraging the importance of the Andalusian breed worldwide. SIMOF (International Flamenco Fashion Show) also receives wide publicity. In addition, it is the chosen venue for itinerant international events, with notable examples in recent years such as the MTV Europe Music Awards 2019 or the Goya Awards for Spanish Cinema.
The Andalusian capital does not have other prominent exhibition centers, but its good hotel infrastructure is also an attraction for business trips to Andalusia, as many of them have top-level conference rooms and auditoriums. And it should not be forgotten that the national or regional headquarters of large Spanish companies are located here, which is also a magnet for all types of professionals.
The province of Malaga is the other major epicenter for business trips in Andalusia. Not only because Malaga city is the second most populated city in the region, but also because the Costa del Sol is a tourist destination or even the place of residence for major entrepreneurs, whose projects do not stop at any time of the year.
Therefore, this province hosts four large venues for this activity: the Malaga Trade Fairs and Congress Center, the Marbella Trade Fairs and Congress Center, the Estepona Congress and Exhibition Palace, and IFECOSOL in Torremolinos. Its strong tourism sector means that important sectoral fairs are organized here, such as the Hospitality Innovation Show, but also in other areas, such as Gamepolis dedicated to video games.
More MICE tourism destinations
In addition to Seville and Malaga, the rest of the provinces are also destinations for many business trips to Andalusia, mainly national in nature, although in some cases they host large international fairs linked to local products with great international impact.
