The Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC) will host the 46th edition of the Expovacaciones fair from May 8th to 10th, aiming to bring a wide range of offerings and new trends in the tourism sector to the public.

This benchmark event in the tourism sector will bring together a broad offering of both Spanish State and international tourist destinations. Among the participants will be Aragon, Cantabria, Galicia, Andalusia, La Rioja, Euskadi, Castile and León, the Community of Madrid, Ibiza, Menorca, Ceuta, Melilla, and the Canary Islands, as well as the Costa Brava and the Girona Pyrenees. International destinations such as Lisbon, Alentejo, Algarve, and central Portugal will also be highlighted.
The fair's offerings will be structured around two main themes: Experimenta and Saborea. The Experimenta section will provide activities related to active experience tourism, in a space where adventure, nature, and new sensations will be central. Visitors will find simulators, workshops, and proposals linked to active tourism.
The Saborea area, on the other hand, will focus on gastronomy, offering the opportunity to enjoy presentations and experiences of gastronomic tourism from various regions. Additionally, visitors will be able to taste and purchase representative products from different areas.

"Expovacaciones is a meeting point between supply and demand, and by offering personalized proposals and professional advice, it facilitates the decision-making process for travelers."
