EIBTM has announced that Lufthansa Airlines will once again provide competitive fares to all trade visitors and exhibiting personnel.
Lufthansa, the lead supplier of flights for EIBTM offers a comprehensive global route network linking Barcelona, Spain with over 200 cities around the world including Russia, Middle East and South Africa.

To book flights and receive special EIBTM rates, please visit www.eibtm.com/travel follow the dedicated booking link and enter the special access code DEJII in the “Access to Event Booking” area.

You can book your flights directly from this site which will offer you a discounted rate (typically 10% off published fares) on the lowest available fare.

EIBTM has also successfully secured competitive rates with 47 hotels for this year’s exhibition. There are 41 official (4 and 5star) partnering hotels in Barcelona and a further 6 non-official partnering 4 star hotels.

Rates range from 106 Euros for the Ayre Hotel Gran Via adjacent to the venue, up to 339 Euros for the Hotel Arts. A free shuttle bus service will operate between all official hotels, the airport and the venue.

Graeme Barnett, Reed Travel Exhibitions Event Director EIBTM comments: “We are very happy to announce that Lufthansa Airlines will once again be our official flight partner. With over 14,200 meetings and events professionals expected to attend, we want to support our attendees as much as we can to ensure that their time at the show is as easy and cost effective as possible.”

“Partnering with Lufthansa Airlines and various hotels around Barcelona allows us to secure the best rates possible for our attendees. Over the course of the show, we require 19,000 room nights for our Hosted Buyers, exhibitors, speakers and press alone – this is great news for the Barcelona hotel community and it also contributes to supporting the wider city economy”.
