Krakow Convention Bureau activity:
Municipality of Krakow, recognising the advantages of the conference industry and the growing interest in Krakow as a business tourism location, has decided to expand its activity in this field and established the Krakow Convention Bureau in 2004.
Currently, the Bureau operates within the structure of the Department of Information, Tourism and City Promotion, functioning on non-profit principles.
Business tourism has a great impact on the economic development of the city and the region. Krakow is developing its base for business tourists (new congress centres and hotels equipped with conference rooms). The surroundings of Krakow are also essential in creating the business tourism offer. This is especially important for motivational events that can be organised in places such as the Wieliczka Salt Mine and Niepołomice Castle.
The main objective of the Krakow Convention Bureau is to promote the city as an attractive destination for the international conference industry. For this purpose, the Krakow Convention Bureau uses such forms of marketing as:
Ø Participating in international business tourism fairs,
Ø Publishing and distributing informational and promotional materials,
Ø Advertising in domestic and international magazines,
Ø Running recommendation programmes, including a recommendation system for PCOs,
Ø International cooperation and site inspections for organisers of business meetings and events, and for journalists,
Ø Running the www.conventionkrakow.pl website,
Ø Exploring the meetings industry market in Krakow.
We offer assistance in terms of:
a) Initiating new international congresses and conferences that could take place in Krakow,
b) Preparing and carrying out site inspections,
c) Organising ‘Krakow’ stands at congresses and conferences,
d) Preparing multimedia presentations on the tourist and conferences assets of Krakow,
