Consultia Business Travel consolidates its MICE area for the organisation of trips for groups, organisations and companies

• Consultia has been selected to organise some of the year’s MICE events for companies such as Factorial, Medline, Grupo Sanitario Ribera, Eldisser; entities such as the Asociación Valenciana de Agricultores, AVA; as well as for different Caja Rural groups.

• MICE tourism has experienced a strong increase after the pandemic as it is a strategic area that allows companies to differentiate themselves from their competitors, strengthen their brand, foster closer contact with suppliers and customers and incentivise their employees.

• Consultia proposes tailor-made solutions for large and small events anywhere in the world, through creative experiences for employees, partners and customers, with the main purpose of helping to achieve the company’s objectives.

Madrid, 30 May 2023. Consultia Business Travel, a Spanish company specialising in the integrated management of business travel, is consolidating its MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions) area for the organisation of group, corporate and business travel. Corporate tourism has regained its momentum after the pandemic and is expected to reach 100% of its activity by 2024, according to a recent report by the consulting firm Braintrust. Consultia Business Travel invoiced 200% more in 2022 than the previous year in its MICE area and this year it expects to double its income from this concept.

The meetings industry in Spain generated around 12,000 million euros in 2019, a pre-pandemic year, and with the arrival of COVID-19 suffered a 75% drop. Now, once the crisis is over, there is a strong increase in the demand for MICE events, as Carlos Martínez, CEO of Consultia Business Travel, confirms, “after the pandemic, organisations are facing new challenges ranging from resuming direct contact with customers and suppliers, to increasing the internal cohesion of their teams both nationally and internationally, to reconnecting with the latest trends in their sector, all critical areas for the smooth running of the business and which have suffered during the pandemic. We are detecting a growing interest in the market for this type of services, demanding greater personalisation and innovation in proposals, speed and excellence,” he explains.

How companies are organising their upcoming events

As a company specialising in MICE, Consultia Business Travel facilitates and organises all the logistics necessary for an event of these characteristics to be a complete success. Consultia is currently in charge of all the logistics involved in holding the annual convention of the Spanish startup of human resources services, Factorial, which moves more than 300 people from different parts of the USA, Brazil and Mexico. “Consultia has been a key partner in the celebration of our annual event, Facts by Factorial, for which we needed to have all our employees from Brazil, Mexico and the United States. We brought together around 1,000 people for three days and we were able to focus on offering them a unique experience thanks to the agency’s organised travel and service”, Factorial states.

Last February, Consultia organised the 1st National My Electro Convention of Eldisser with the mobility of all its associates at national level, more than 450 people from all parts of Spain.

The company also organises the corporate events of Grupo Sanitario Ribera, the public and private healthcare services provider, which summarises its experience with the service as follows: “Consultia is a great ally for our group because it frees the internal team from certain tasks that require a great deal of dedication, and which they, as specialists, resolve with great professionalism, allowing us to dedicate our resources to other tasks, bringing greater efficiency to our internal processes”.

In addition to these large corporate trips, Consultia also takes care of the organisation of day-to-day meetings, such as those provided to the health services company Medline, with meetings and appointments that require the mobility of 15 to 20 people. Medline leaves their management in Consultia’s hands and, in this way, they can forget about worrying and organise all the meetings with other members of their team, with suppliers or partners and have them fit in with their dynamics.

Consultia has also been in charge of organising some of the major business meetings of the year. It is currently preparing trips to Japan, Egypt and Uzbekistan for the Asociación Valenciana de Agricultores, AVA, to be held in August, September and October, respectively. Meetings that add value, with tourist trips for more than 300 people.  A unique experience for attendees to connect and transmit the values of the organisation. Different delegations of Caja Rural have also placed their trust in Consultia, for which it is organising trips to Uzbekistan, New York and Washington, which will materialise in the coming months. All these events will be attended by around one hundred participants per organisation.
