Turespaña, Spain’s Tourist Office, is participating as a Premium sponsor, promoting Spain as a travel destination. For the first time, the Aragón region will be represented, showcasing its capital, Zaragoza, and the Ruta Mariana cultural tourism route. Aragón’s rich heritage, delicious gastronomy, and stunning natural landscapes make it a hidden gem for potential travelers.
Jorge Moncada, Director General of Tourism for the Government of Aragón, expresses their commitment to positioning Aragón as an unmissable destination. The region’s proximity to major cities like Madrid and Barcelona ensures it serves as an ideal hub for exploring Spain’s cultural treasures.
Central America: Expanding Horizons

CATA’s Secretary General, Boris Iraheta, highlighted the strategic importance of the event for showcasing tourism offerings and enhancing air connectivity, which is crucial for attracting visitors.
Networking Opportunities Abound
At the heart of WTE Miami lies its focus on high-quality B2B engagements.
