The Tourism Office of Spain has taken the first step in a series of actions targeted in the development of the GCC market with the release of a new website (www.spain.info/gcc) featuring customised contents for the GCC.

Available in Arabic and English, the website has an easy and practical structure, emphasising only on the destinations of more interest for the GCC tourists. The target is to avoid creating an encyclopedic website, with exhaustive listings of all the possible destinations which would only confuse the potential traveller. To prevent this, some travel program options are suggested for different destinations.

The website also has information on family entertainment (complete list of family attractions), shopping, halal services, hotels and train services in Spain.

The Tourism Office of Spain, which recently moved to Abu Dhabi, is focused on increasing the number of GCC tourists to the country, with several promotional activities planned throughout the year. - TradeArabia News Service
