The Travel Convention 2025

Opening Ceremony

This year’s destination hosts will formally welcome delegates to Calvià at the Opening Ceremony which will take place on Monday 6 October, prior to the Welcome Party.

The Ceremony will take place in the Mallorca Room at the Melià Calvià Beach Hotel, where you will be welcomed by ABTA’s Chair along with dignitaries from Spain, the Balearic Islands, Mallorca and Calvià, and enjoy some special entertainment.

Welcome Party

The Welcome Party, hosted by Turespaña, is your chance to connect with industry peers, soak up the Convention spirit, and enjoy a warm destination welcome. Expect culinary delights with local ingredients, paired with Cava, wines, beers and soft drinks. Set at the Cape Nao Beach Club overlooking Isla de sa Porrassa, the evening promises a convivial atmosphere and lively entertainment. When the Welcome Party closes, a cash bar will be available for delegates wishing to remain at the Beach Club, with the venue closing at 00:30.

Host Party

On the middle night of the Convention, we will take a short drive to Balneario Illetas – a magical location with an exclusive beach club set within a private bay – for the Host Party, sponsored by Ayuntamiento de Calviá.

You will enjoy local drinks and a selection of speciality dishes from cooking stations situated throughout the venue. Lively entertainment will keep the party going until 23:00.

Sundowner reception

Join our destination hosts for a farewell drink as the sun sets on the 2025 Travel Convention.

This farewell sundowner will take place from 18:30-19:30 on Wednesday 8 October on the The Level Terrace at the Melià Calvià Beach Hotel.

After the reception, take the opportunity to catch up with old friends and new to experience the wide range of culinary experiences available in the Calvià region and Palma city.
