Scotland will boast its historic castles, traditional Highland Games and beautiful lakes; Greece will exhibit its cultural possibilities and the beauty of its islands; and Belgium, among other proposals, will offer leisure activities, antiques markets, concerts and music festivals.

Shopping tourism will also be included in the proposals of territories such as Russia and United States as well as China, Japan, Mexico, Brazil and the Gulf countries, important destinations in the luxury segment. The trade show will actually be launching a new section, FITUR SHOPPING, which is dedicated to this segment and will contribute to consolidate it.
