The Diputación de Palencia is set to participate in the International Interior Tourism Fair (INTUR), taking place in Valladolid from 12 to 15 November. Last year, INTUR attracted over 36,000 visitors, prompting the Diputación to bring a wide range of activities to its 150 m² stand to showcase the tourism potential of Palencia.
During the 29th edition of INTUR, the provincial institution aims to immerse travellers and professionals in the experience of the Territorial Museum Campos del Renacimiento. The importance of participating in such fairs is emphasised by the Diputación, as these events are crucial for consolidating interior tourism as a key element for regional development.
The first day, Thursday 12 November, will be dedicated to INTUR Negocios, a business-focused segment, while from Friday 13 to Sunday 15, INTUR Viajeros will open to the general public, allowing visitors to explore Palencia's tourism offerings.
Fifteen professionals from the capital and province will represent Palencia at INTUR Negocios, which serves as a meeting point for tourism agents, including hotels, active tourism companies, travel agencies, guides, and transport services, alongside national and international buyers.
The Palencia stand will feature a diverse programme of activities designed to enhance the province's presence at this promotional event, with the ultimate goal of encouraging visitors to discover Palencia's history, culture, nature, and gastronomy, and to consider it for their next holiday or getaway.
Additionally, the Diputación aims to highlight the importance of its agri-food sector and its potential for wine tourism at the fair. Tastings of products from the quality brand 'Alimentos de Palencia' and wines from the Denominations of Origin (DO) Arlanza and Cigales, as well as IGP Vino de Tierra de Castilla y León, will also be featured in the programme.
