The city is gaining more and more importance as an MICE and leisure destination, and it will continue to be the case, because as if this wasn’t enough, the Community of Madrid wants to continue boosting its offer in this type of sector, expanding its proposition to the bordering localities that enable this type of events, as well as hosting groups of people. Places like Aranjuez, Pozuelo de Alarcon, Alcobendas and Alcala de Henares will also become ideal.
Alcala de Henares is the easy target because the University of Alcalá has invested in a congress space located in the Plaza de San Diego, the Cisneros building, whose multipurpose rooms will have the capacity to accommodate more than 400 people. An initiative which is expected to bring potential tourism to the city. So Madrid will continue to grow, and if this year the MICE segment has boosted hotel occupancy, wait until you see in 2020!
