This large influx of visitors, both national and international, demonstrates the interest aroused by the fair and its ability to attract the main players in the sector.

The success of the fair has also been reflected in its economic impact, which is estimated at 180 million euros. This figure demonstrates the importance of Alimentaria & Hostelco as an economic engine for the city of Barcelona and for Spain.

Being the mackerel from our TEJERO brand, the main protagonist of a great dish prepared in the showcooking days, with the help of the Andalusian association LANDALUZ. A perfect opportunity to give visibility and recognition to the products of Andalusian lands.

A positive balance and a look to the future Body

Our participation in Alimentaria & Hostelco has been a resounding success. The fair has allowed us to open new doors, establish business relationships with companies from all over the world and learn about the latest market trends.
