Brussels a EIBTM 2006
Holding an event in the Capital of Europe appears to be highly appropriate for 5 major reasons :
- Remarkable Accessibility from all over the world and extraordinary Compactness. Brussels is strategically situated in the heart of an international market of more than 450 million consumers, at the crossing point of the Latin & Germanic cultures, with remarkable accessibility (either by airways, train, or road). From the green Ardennes to the medieval cities of Flanders, meeting delegates can easily plan quick excursions to Belgium`s diverse landscapes and historic monuments. - Extraordinary Variety of hotels of all categories (more than 14,000 hotels rooms) and an impressive array of meeting and gala dinner venues such as `Belle Epoque` hotels, castles, cellars, state of the art centres to historic places and museums and, of course, a wonderful Convention & Exhibition Centre, with full technological and infrastructure support. - Hub of European Business & Politics. Headquarters of the European Institutions and of NATO, it also welcomes a lot of international associations and companies. Our city is dedicated to providing top-quality business and leisure opportunities to visitors and residents alike. - Cosmopolitan in word & deed. Home to more than 150 nationalities, Brussels is inherently cosmopolitan and hospitable. We like to help and serve visitors in the language of their choice. - And last but not least it also offers a unique Art de Vivre : Brussels boasts the benefits of a metropolis with the comfort of a great village and is a real paradise for food & art lovers. Ever heard about our famous cuisine, the 500 kind of beers, the Belgian chocolates, not to forget our famous `frites` or chips ? Brussels also has a vibrant cultural life : more than 70 museums, many historical and royal buildings (it is the capital of the `Art Nouveau` ). Did you know it is one of the greenest cities of the world, with numerous parks and the Soignes Forest ? The international calling of Brussels is not a mere chance : Brussels has been active in the congress international scene since the middle of the 19th century and is ranked third congress city in the world according to the UIA (Union of International Associations). It boasts more than 60.000 events annually, including international trade fairs.
