Turisme de Catalunya

The Culture and Gastronomy Workshop is organised by Turisme de Catalunya, the official body of the Catalan Government for promoting the Catalan tourist industry both in Spain and abroad.

 The missions of Turisme de Catalunya are:

• To consolidate Catalonia’s image as a diversified and professional tourist destination.
• To position “Catalunya” as a quality brand in outbound tourist markets.

The following results have been achieved:

• More than 20 million tourists a year make Catalonia the leading tourist destination in Spain.
• More than 400 tourism promotion activities take place every year in cooperation with the Catalan tourist industry.

The range of tourism products has been divided into 12 parts in order to show them to their full advantage:

• Active and nature holidays
• Watersports
• Cultural tourism
• Business tourism
• Sports tourism
• Ski holidays
• Family holidays
• Rural tourism
• Gastronomy holidays
• Wellness
• Golf tourism

Active and nature holidays, Cultural tourism, Gastronomy holidays and Golf tourism also have their own Holiday or Tourism Clubs (set up by specialised companies and public organisations engaged in territorial promotion) for which Turisme de Catalunya undertakes specific promotion and marketing activities.
