Last year I participated in Spain's 1st Tourism and Travel first Virtual Trade Show. It was a very good experience where I was able to make a few connections in the Spanish tourism sector. The website was very well thought out. It felt like a real trade show. I can think of way to make it even better this time around, given advances in digital technology in the last year. I can't wait to see what IMASTE, the organizer of the show, comes up with this time around. I am very curious to see how the show does. It will be open from March 12 to December 31st, 2012. Spain's Tourism Virtual Trade Show is a great opportunity to get to know the wide variety of destinations and tourism attractions in Spain and make the right contacts for business. If you sell travel to Spain, join the trade show - you will probably find old friends and make new amigos.
