🌟 Discover Why Mallorca is the Strategic Bridge in the Heart of the Mediterranean 🌟 In a world racing towards the future, Mallorca stands out as a crucial intercontinental hub, connecting continents and facilitating the flow of people, ideas, and businesses. While other destinations strive to find their place on the global map, our islands are already positioned to lead. 🔍 China’s interest in Mallorca is not new. For years, the Chinese have been quietly observing and securing their interests on our islands, establishing a solid foundation for future collaborations and investments. This week, Palma de Mallorca welcomes groups of investors and entrepreneurs from places like Dubai and Jeddah, all seeking the unique opportunities that only Mallorca can offer. 🌍 The Euroafrica Foundation has been instrumental in promoting our islands as a key intercontinental node. Mallorca is seen from the outside as the "Mediterranean miracle," a recognition that drives us to continue positioning it not only as a tourist destination but also as a center for research, innovation, and business. 🏢 Today, the Palma Convention Center inaugurates, for the first time, a forum dedicated to capturing global attention on the Saudi miracle from Mallorca. This event aims not only to highlight our islands as a point of connection with Asia but also to foster collaboration with local businesses eager to expand or already positioned internationally. 🌟 Mallorca is more than a destination; it is a strategic platform that connects continents and cultures. With the ongoing support of local and international initiatives, our islands will continue to thrive and reaffirm their place on the global stage. 🤝 A special mention must go to Kira Negron , CEO of GLTRCORE , and the President of the Saudi Business Council , whose remarkable efforts over the years have been fundamental in building bridges and fostering these connections. 💼 Read more in my article about how Mallorca is becoming a key intercontinental hub for the Mediterranean. 🌐 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dvNuM4H2 #Mallorca #MediterraneanHub #GlobalBusiness #Innovation #IntercontinentalBridge #EuroafricaFoundation

It was an incredible "European Business Tour" filled with productivity and exploration! 🌍 Finland, with its stunning landscapes and vibrant culture, stole a piece of my heart. From Helsinki's bustling streets to the tranquility of Lapland, every moment was a testament to Finland's unique charm. But what truly stood out was the warmth of Finnish hospitality. The people of Finland welcomed us with open arms, embracing guests from around the world with genuine kindness and generosity. Whether enjoying local delicacies or immersing myself in Finnish traditions, every encounter left an indelible mark. These experiences reaffirm the importance of fostering global connections built on mutual respect and understanding. Kiitos, Finland, for an unforgettable journey! Visited Germany's vibrant cities and serene countryside and every experience reflects the country's rich culture and history. Yet, what truly captivated me was the warmth of cosy taverns to bustling marketplaces, the people of Germany welcomed us with open hearts, fostering connections that transcend borders and languages. Amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Switzerland, where majestic mountains meet picturesque lakes, every moment feels like a postcard coming to life. However, it was the genuine warmth of Swiss hospitality that left the most lasting impression. From the streets of Paris to the picturesque countryside of Provence, France's allure is undeniable. Whether dining in quaint bistros or wandering through historic landmarks, every interaction was infused with sheer joy. Indeed, the business meetings were a resounding success. Key decisions were made, agreements reached, and innovative ideas exchanged.

Observations on Spain I have been in Spain for almost two years and have made the following observations: Firstly, Spain is considered an economically inactive market where consumers tend to prefer traditional brands and products, with a relatively low acceptance of new innovations. I believe that introducing innovative business models and technologies to fill market gaps is crucial. After that, it is essential to make local adjustments based on the local market demands and culture, and then use market education and promotion to enhance consumer awareness and acceptance of new products, models, or services. **Characteristics of the Spanish Market:** 1. **Rich Cultural Heritage and Tourism Resources**: Spain has abundant cultural heritage and tourism resources, which can be leveraged to develop cultural creative industries and cultural experience products. 2. **Geographical and Cultural Leverage**: Spain's geographical location and cultural ties can serve as a gateway to the European and Latin American markets. 3. **Low-Cost Business Models**: Providing low-cost business models can reduce the entry barriers, allowing individuals to start a business with investments of less than 5,000 euros. ---

Why it’s important to ensure continued support and funding for MeetDenmark: As discussions currently arise regarding potential cuts to funding for MeetDenmark, it's crucial to emphasize the pivotal role this organization plays in sustaining our business tourism industry. Business tourism isn't just about revenue; it's about driving growth. With a turnover of 35.6 billion DKK, it represents over 25% of Denmark's total tourism expenditure. In 2019, this sector contributed 16.9 billion DKK in taxes, crucial for our collective growth and welfare. International conferences and congresses are key drivers of this economic impact. We know that from the many events we craft at Bella Center Copenhagen and our hotels – across a wide array of professional fields. Business tourists spend more per day than leisure tourists, benefiting various businesses. Moreover, the competition for hosting these events is fierce. Any reduction in support for MeetDenmark would be detrimental. MeetDenmark's efforts are instrumental in attracting major international events, directly translating into revenue for Danish companies. On behalf of Bellagroup and the wider industry I urge policymakers to continue prioritizing business tourism. Supporting organizations like MeetDenmark is an investment in future prosperity. Let's ensure Denmark remains a premier destination for international events, bolstering our economy and global standing.
