The new Rome and Lazio Convention Bureau, established on 21 June this year will be making its international debut at the ibtm world trade show in Barcelona 28-20 November.

The bureau has, in short order, grown to embrace 86 members and partners.

The project to relaunch conference tourism in Rome and in Lazio, the region’s tourism authority leadership hopes, will enable them to climb the global rankings in the conference industry.

The new bureau’s chairman and vice-chairman, Onorio Rebecchini and Stefano Fiori, respectively, will be fronting a press conference at 3.30pm, 28 November, at ibtm.

Supported by players in culture and transport, the new Rome and Lazio bureau incorporates leading centres, including the ‘Nuvola’, the Fiera di Roma, and strategic players such as Italy’s airport system, large sports operators, service providers, as well as 30 business-oriented hotels and PCOs, DMCs and incentive houses.

The bureau operates in partnership with Roma Capitale and the Region of Lazio, which supported its creation and its activity through a steering committee, giving rise to a public-private partnership.
