Sustainable meetings in Europe’s Green Capital

Valencia, on Spain’s Mediterranean coast, has been named European Green Capital 2024 for its commitment to protecting the environment and improving the quality of life of residents and visitors. A sustainable approach is applied to everything, including the meetings and events held here.

The Palacio de Congresos de Valencia was pioneer in measuring the carbon footprint of events and is implementing a new system to measure and minimise food waste. Catering companies have a constant supply of fresh, seasonal produce from the Mediterranean Sea and the Huerta that surrounds the city. And venues are easily accessible on foot, by bike or public transport.

Event venues range from modern hotels to historic palaces, Michelin-starred restaurants to the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences. Also sporting grounds which, from 2025, will include the new Roig Arena, and country houses (masías) where delegates can learn to cook (and taste) Valencia’s most international dish: paella.

Meet us at TravDay NL at 8 October and TravDay Belux at 10 October.
