a colossal range of convention facilities and

business-class hotels to suit every function. The

luxury Gran Bahia Del Duque Resort in Costa

Adeje on the western coast of the island is a case

in point. Architecturally designed as a classic

Spanish village, the Gran Bahia offers 3,000

square metres of conference space distributed

between 26 meeting rooms, an impressive 482

hotel rooms, and ten distinctive restaurants

serving a wide range of world cuisines.

Similarly, the Mare Nostrum Resort in Arona

is a first-class venue for a business incentive

trip or conference, situated on the white

sandy beaches of Playa del Camisón. With

a convention auditorium that caters for more

than 2,000 delegates and excellent facilities

for presentations, meetings and networking

activities, the Mare Nostrum – like many of

the business-class resorts in Tenerife – is also

situated just minutes from some of Spain’s most

prestigious golf courses.

Accessing the Island of Eternal Spring could

not be simpler as Tenerife is the only Canary

Island that boasts two international airports:

the thoroughly modern Reina Sofia Airport

in the south and the Los Roderos Airport in

the north – both of which receive frequent

intercontinental arrivals. As one of the world’s

most accessible tropical destinations and with a

remarkable array of delights to offer the business

traveller, Tenerife is truly the island paradise for

every occasion.

K nown traditionally as the Isla de

la Eterna Primavera – the Island

of Eternal Spring – Tenerife was

a spellbinding stop-off point for

explorers setting off from Europe to make their

fortunes in the New World. With enduring

cultural and commercial links to Europe, America

and Africa, this largest and most charming of

the Canary Islands is now luring international

business travellers and conferences to its

magical shores as never before.

For more than four hundred years, the Spanish

settlers cultivated the fertile pastures of this

volcanic island to refi ne its reputation as a

signifi cant winegrowing locality, and its seasoned

vineyards may help to explain why Tenerife

excels at its key industry – hospitality. For the

international event organiser, Tenerife possesses

an abundance of supplementary attractions

to ensure that every corporate convention

hosted here is rich with experience – both in the

boardroom and beyond.

Tenerife’s world-famous hospitality extends much

further than the touristy bars, clubs, luxuriant

spas and sunbathing beaches of Playa de las

Americas in the south. With a free afternoon to

spare, the business traveller can discover the

warm welcome at the heart of this truly Spanish

island in the bustling capital of Santa Cruz

de Tenerife, with its brightly-coloured period

buildings, sophisticated bars and cafes, and

substantial collection of museums and galleries,

including the Municipal Museum of Fine Arts and

the Museum of Nature and Man – which exhibits

the remarkable natural diversity of the island’s

fl ora and fauna.

Schedule permitting, conference delegates can

also explore the untouched treasures of this

tropical Eden: from the vertical precipices of

the Acantilados de Los Gigantes (Cliffs of the

Giants) rising 500 metres out of the ocean, to

the awesome lunar landscape of the third largest

volcano in the world, the Pico del Teide, to the

vast laurel, myrtle and pine forests that teem with

exotic wildlife.

But the natural enchantments of this breathtaking

isle should not eclipse the real business of

conferencing, and to this end Tenerife offers

Basking in the balmy waters of the Atlantic Ocean off the western coast of Africa,the island paradise of Tenerife has been attracting international traders and

expanding businesses since the 15th century.
