The 2022 edition of Seatrade Cruise Med is to be held at the Trade Fairs and Congress Centre in Málaga, Spain on 14 and 15 September.
The location of the event was announced at the international tourism fair FITUR in Madrid, Spain. According to Seatrade, the air, rail and road connections of Málaga were taken into account when selecting it as the host city, along with its hotel capacity.
For the first time, a programme of activities to take place throughout the city during the week of the event will also be developed.
“The Mediterranean continues to be a key segment for the growth and evolution of cruise traffic,” said Chiara Giorgi, Seatrade Cruise's global brand and event director. “Seatrade Cruise Med will once again bring the sector together with a renewed programme, providing very interesting information on market trends and technological advances, and offering opportunities for collaboration to forge new connections.”
The event is organised by Seatrade Cruise, and will be hosted by the Port of Málaga, Málaga City Council, Costa del Sol Tourism Board and Andalucía Tourist Board, with the support of Ports of Spain, MedCruise, Global Ports Holding, City Sightseeing and Suncruise Andalucía. The 2022 edition will be the first to take place in four years after the scheduled 2020 conference was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
