Gdańsk Convention Bureau is organizing the first study tour to Gdansk & Region (Poland) for foreign journalists and touroperators that is held from September 6th till 8th 2010.

Study tours are part of "Business tourism promotion as a trademark of Gdansk and Pomerania" project, implemented by the  Gdansk Tourist Organization / Gdansk Convention Bureau and co-financed by Regional Operational Programme for Pomorskie voivodship (2007-2013). Gdańsk Convention Bureau covers all costs including plane tickets, accommodation in a 4 star hotel, transfers etc.  The tour will be directed by Gdańsk Convention Bureau and PCO – HORN.

During each visit we will present Gdansk & Region (Pomerania) potential as business tourism destination. Forthcoming study tour will bring together a small group of Scandinavian and German journalists, tour operators, event agencies working in the Meetings Industry Sector. The intent is to provide and exchange information about Gdańsk & Region, its high quality conference venues, meeting facilities, convention centres, hotels and its possibility to host international corporate events, convention and congresses.  As one of EURO 2012 host cities Gdańsk gained lately new multi-functional centres that are definitely worth to see and will hopefully make Region ideal meeting destination.
We invite guests from Germany, Great Britain and Scandinavian countries. During each visit, participants will visit minimum 6 selected conference venues and hotels, and will take half day trip to the Museum in Malbork.
