Barcelona: a city for business

Barcelona has taken over the fourth position in the European Union for the best cities to do business. "The economic environment of the city of Barcelona is one of the best in its history", commented Jordi Portabella, the deputy to the major. In studies taken from the Barcelona Observatory, an analysis that compares the international competitiveness of the city, Barcelona has the highest placing in Spain and the fourth in Europe. Thanks to growth in foreign investment, the organization of conventions, arrivals in the airport, and in tourists, Barcelona has risen in the rankings. In 2006, the city's record was broken for inscriptions in social security with 1,058,000 workers and more importantly, the job market for information technology grew substantially. Looking to the future, the arrival of the high speed train (AVE), the expansion of the airport, and the reform of the port area are all vital to the economic growth of Barcelona. Why don't you take a break and come here? Even if you are a business traveller and want to find the right accomodation in Barcelona, we can help you. A Barcelona apartment will be perfect to be independent during your stay to visit and relax in your own place, but you could also prefer being in a Barcelona hotel in the city center while you are attending a convention or an exposition as there are so many these days in the city!
