Turisme de Barcelona Product

IntroductionThis Sales Guide is a thorough compilation of the services Barcelona offers its visitors: ranging from accommodation and transport to museums, shops and restaurants.

Turisme de Barcelona publishes this guide every two years for travel trade professionals, with the aim of providing a useful tool that gathers all the basic information which will help them successfully organise a stay in the city. This in-depth guide is geared to all types of visitors and their different needs. You will also find references to other sources of information for sectors of the market with specific requirements, such as congress tourism.

The current edition includes two new features: all the establishments that have been awarded an eco-label or environmental certification are identified by a pictogram. Not for nothing was Barcelona awarded Biosphere World Class Destination status in 2012 by the Institute of Responsible Tourism. The Catalan capital was the first city in the world to receive this distinction as a sustainable destination in the economic, social, cultural and environmental spheres.

Furthermore, the information about the range of visitor attractions in Barcelona province has been added to chapter 6, Visit Barcelona, with the aim of providing an overview of the offering of Barcelona and its surrounding area. In previous editions, this information was included in chapter 13, Visit Catalonia.

Tourism in Barcelona hasn’t stopped growing in recent years, transforming this sector into one of the mainstays of the city’s economy. More than 7 million tourists visit us every year, a figure generating 15.5 million overnights. But these figures are complemented by excellent quality, and in this regard our wish is to continue improving day by day.

We are committed to attaining top quality in the services Barcelona offers to visitors and professionals from the sector. For this reason, please don’t hesitate to send us your suggestions, questions or comments about the contents of this publication.

A digital edition of the guide is also available on CD and the contents can also be viewed on our website www.barcelonaturisme.cat

Welcome to Barcelona.
