Azerbaijan joins annual meeting of International Congress and Convention Association
Representatives of the Azerbaijan Convention Bureau have participated in the 53rd annual congress of the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) held in Antalya, Turkey.
The Azerbaijan Convention Bureau became a member of ICCA in 2014, and participated in its meeting for the first time.
The congress hosted sessions on different spheres of tourism, as well as venue marketing, transportation etc.
ICCA, the International Congress and Convention Association, is the most global meetings industry association and the leader in the international association meetings sector. ICCA was founded in 1963 by a group of travel agents. Their first and foremost aim was to evaluate practical ways to get the travel industry involved in the rapidly expanding market of international meetings and to exchange actual information related to their operations in this market. This initiative soon proved to have been taken at the right moment: the meeting industry expanded even more rapidly than foreseen.
ICCA now is one of the most prominent organizations in the world of international meetings. It is the only association that comprises a membership representing the main specialists in handling, transporting and accommodating international events.
