In a significant effort to revitalize the business travel sector post-pandemic, Gibraltar is poised to host the Business Travel Association’s (BTA) autumn conference. This prestigious event, aimed at supporting the industry’s resurgence, will be held uniquely on the Sunborn Yacht Hotel.

Scheduled from September 29 to October 2, this conference is a groundbreaking departure from previous editions, offering attendees a three-night stay. This extension not only provides an additional day for in-depth exploration of Gibraltar but also creates ample opportunities for informal networking.

Delegates traveling to the conference will have flights arranged from major airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick, and Manchester, with registration opening on February 5. The selection of the Sunborn Yacht Hotel as the venue underscores the BTA’s innovative approach to hosting its flagship event.

Clive Wratten, the Chief Executive of the BTA, expressed his gratitude to Gibraltar’s Minister of Tourism for his support in bringing the conference to the territory. He emphasized that this autumn conference is the association’s largest annual event and shared his excitement about offering a three-night conference in Gibraltar. He remarked that this spectacular location is ideal for fostering networking, engaging in debates, and participating in educational and socially enriching activities.

Gibraltar’s Tourism Minister, Christian Santos, commented on the significance of the event, highlighting it as a celebration of the vibrant business travel industry in Gibraltar’s historic center. He pointed out that business travel is not just about reaching destinations but is integral in building connections, unlocking opportunities, and showcasing a diverse range of innovation and commerce.

Minister Santos also noted that Gibraltar serves as an exemplary destination that promotes growth and excellence in travel and hospitality. He proudly acknowledged Gibraltar’s role as an ambassador in this domain.

The hosting of the BTA autumn conference in Gibraltar, particularly aboard the Sunborn Yacht Hotel, is expected to have a substantial impact on tourism. It underscores the region’s capacity to host high-profile business events and positions Gibraltar as a sought-after destination for both business and leisure travelers.
