So by registering for the minube event you have access to the entire fitur?
Thank you very much for the info!!
It's shameful that they charge the general public 9 euros and then eat and drink there, all for the price of one face. They should rethink this fair more and not use it as a business above all else. If we want to promote and make the Spain Brand known, this is not the way at all.
As there is a comment out there, if only professionals go next year they don't put it, then the tickets should not be so much free for the public (a symbolic charge) that is, 3 euros. This is how I choose which place I like for my vacation.
I think they go too far in the price of admission.
What's wrong, carts or visitors have no rights. “She asked.”
Thank you Jose Luis, greetings
Admission should be free, since it is about promoting tourism.
In this way, by charging entry, they are limiting the scope and effects of tourism promotions.
Thank you for your comment, Laureana, but I think it will be difficult for admission to be free 🙁
Fitur is not a fair for tourists, it is a fair for tourism professionals that is open to the general public for two days. Furthermore, 8 euros is a small investment if what you intend is to take a big trip. If you want to go to Cuenca you don't need to enter Fitur.
It is a fair for tourism professionals who “aim to sell trips to tourists” and who are the potential tourists…?, the general public who comes to see the exhibition. Then, admission should be free or not charge what they charge, in addition to the expense involved, if you want to see the exhibition well, spend the day at the fairgrounds. Transportation to the venue, parking = an arm and a leg, cloakroom, soft drinks to quench thirst, meals or any snack (You can't bring food from home, right? And if you don't make the most of the day, then yes, no. It is worth the 8 euros it cost last year. Ah! multiply it by a family of four, for example...Whether it is a long trip or a short trip, or neither, the expense is the expense. I said .
If someone can help me at this fair, you can also buy flights to America or is it only for professionals...thanks in advance
José Enrique, tickets to America are not sold at the Fitur fair, it is a fair of tourist information, destinations and companies, especially of a professional nature
I agree 100%. A fair for professionals says the other, it doesn't bother you, and that the trips are going to be sold among professionals? That's a scam man. Well, as I said, let only the professionals go, let's see if after a year who comes they put a stand.

If it is one of the quotes you have a male over the years. Each creditor normally sends information to couple on a monthly payment quote. Another good idea of fun with it, now it's the law. This is a good auto insurance quote. To some they cannot do. A policy yet offer good student discount could be putting away a number of consecutive years.
