Why partner with ETOA?
“Organizing an online event with pre-scheduled meeting slots can be a bothersome process. ETOA team’s expertise on this field ensured -once again- a quite smooth and flawless organization. Post-event feedbacks from both buyers and suppliers were very positive. We are quite satisfied with our choice to have ETOA on board.”
“ETOA and Barcelona City Council have been collaborating and worked together for a long time. We value the public private dialogue and reaching to major European operators and communicate public policies, their role in the private sector allows us to better manage our destination. Very useful the updates on tourism taxes of European cities.”
“Madrid Destino has belonged to ETOA for more than 10 years. For Madrid it affords us the opportunity to interact with tourism professionals from different countries with the aim of not just promoting Madrid and its new and traditional attractions, but also of seeing first-hand the actions implemented by other destinations and adapting them to Madrid. Moreover, the fact that such a large number of Spanish DMOs belong to ETOA facilitates the establishment of synergies and collaborations with other destinations.”
“For our first virtual “Switzerland Travel Experience” in Southeast Asia we have been using ETOA’s online meeting platform Celestina. Working with a professional team and a user friendly, flawless technology made the event for our partners in Switzerland and our travel agents in Southeast Asia a successful and positive experience to re-connect in a virtual way”
