At
the General Assembly of European Cities Marketing held in Copenhagen,
on June 2013 Ignacio de Delás (Barcelona) was elected as the
Association’s new President.
“This role is a great honour and a privilege but it will also be a challenge in an unstable economic context. More than ever before, Convention bureaus, tourist boards and city marketing organizations have to join forces. The ECM strategy 2013-2016 will enable us to focus on new opportunity and work on break-through solutions to obtain growth. ECM will continue to provide essential research, and tools to bench-mark city performance and provide useful forums to exchange knowledge and best practice as well as new business opportunities.” says Ignacio de Delás, deputy General Manager of Turisme de Barcelona and ECM President.
