SUCCESS STORIES
The Medellín Bureau was an excellent tool and a great facilitator. With its constant support, it opened doors and helped us organize an excellent Latin American Congress on Public and Urban Transport (CLATPU 20 78). They made a lot of great suggestions and provided us with contacts of companies in all areas related to the MICE industry. It was easy and clear for us to work with those suppliers who had the expertise in their area and were also used to working with ‘foreigners’”.
