Mallorca, Ibiza and Menorca hosted the celebration of this great meeting during February and March, bringing together more than 25,000 professionals from the sector.

Horeca Baleares, the reference fair of the hotel and catering industry in our islands, has once again achieved its goal; to be a strategic event and consolidate itself as the great showcase of a key sector in the islands.
