Sitges’ colors communicate, blue, green, gray

Sitges is the “perfectly” hybrid destination: blue, green, gray. It is ideal for stimulating creativity, imagination, inspiration and networking.

Sitges is the “perfectly” hybrid destination: blue, green, gray… almost white. Sitges is ideal for stimulating creativity, imagination, inspiration, networking, cognitive restoration and reducing procrastination.

As an evolutionary step in the Sitges CB’s functions, we decided to commit to generating knowledge, promoting conferences and meetings that will allow us to rethink the future and establish bases among all the different actors, in order to move forward much stronger, with more information and improving our quality as a destination.

Under the umbrella of the F5 Sitges Refreshing MICE project, we implemented a change in our business model and promotional strategy. We continue to be firmly committed to events and, among other actions, we established an alliance with the EMI – Event Management Institute, to promote two research projects that would allow us to further the knowledge of the MICE sector. The Psicothon and the “MICE Cell”.

We would like to share with you the results obtained by the five psychologists from the UB, coordinated by the EMI, who, for four months, investigated the elements that intervene in the decision-making process of a destination or a venue, the destination and the physical spaces as determining factors in the communication of an event.

We now know, when talking about events, how colors communicate, that smell is key and which aromas help us to generate lasting memories, what the ideal temperature for comfort is, or which elements favor relaxation. An event’s environment, destination and venue communicate and influence the mood of your audience and their predisposition, and consequently, the results of the event.

We can influence the decision of our potential clients by adapting our venues to their needs, enhancing those aspects that most favor them and minimizing those that may be in conflict with their objectives.

Here you will find an article by Raimond Torrents from the EMI with their conclusions.

New hotel investments in Sitges, Sabàtic by Marriott and Casa Vidal

Sitges has positioned itself as the leading MICE destination in Catalonia second only to Barcelona, a unique place to hold events and meetings of all kinds. That is why it has become a magnet for hotel investments and why chains such as Meliá, with its Meliá Sitges and ME Sitges Terramar hotels, or Wyndham, with Dolce Sitges, have opted for Sitges and are constantly investing in improvements to their establishments. Or why Marriott opened its first establishment in Sitges this summer, the Sabàtic Sitges Hotel, which is part of the Autograph Collection Hotels catalog of unique hotels, with 90 guest rooms in its first phase and meeting rooms, or the Casa Vidal boutique hotel, with 9 guest rooms and a meeting room for 18 people, restoring a Modernista home.

Sitges moves up to the Biosphere Gold certification

With this certification, the town moves up a category and becomes the first destination in Catalonia to obtain it, following Barcelona, which is now Platinum.

To achieve the Gold category, Sitges has had to pass an audit, based on the sustainability indicators and goals of the United Nations Agenda 2030 and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the audit reveals, Sitges’ strengths include the destination’s constant evolution, as well as the existence of initiatives capable of leveraging information technologies to generate responsible tourism activities, and intelligent and sustainable management models in the use of resources.

IMC22 – International Mobility Congress

On September 16^th, the ‘MTVG Conference; mobility and tourism with a vision of gender’ was organized at the Sunway Hotel. A day to share new visions that allow for planning mobility and tourism policies in a way that is more in line with the present reality and taking the gender perspective into account. Organized by the AMTU in collaboration with the Barcelona ATM and the Sitges Town Council.

The International Mobility Congress (IMC 22) will be held for the second year on October 25^th and 26^th at the Hotel Melià Sitges. This congress has maintained the slogan “Drive Into Innovation”, but this year it will focus on two major issues: sustainable, safe and inclusive mobility; and digitization.

As the Mayor of Sitges and president of the AMTU, Aurora Carbonell said, “the present, but above all the future of sustainable mobility will be brought to the table, with success stories, and our towns’ needs will also be highlighted, which we will be able to compare with other realities around the world, in order to implement appropriate, necessary and responsible mobility policies”.
