TODAY, FRIDAY is the final day of the inaugural Costa Blanca Russian Meeting Point, which is taking place in the foyer of Torrevieja’s magnificent International Auditorium. The event opened on Wednesday morning with more than 30 exhibitors displaying their Real Estate, Banking and Investment offers to a selected audience. At 11.45am on Wednesday, Torrevieja’s Mayor Eduardo Dolon, members of the Municipal Government and some opposition councillors, were given a stand by stand tour of the event, meeting each and every one of the exhibitors and staff who were in attendance at the time.
The event is closed to the public as this is trade event allowing local RealEstate and Investment companies to showcase their offerings, initiatives, services plus luxury goods such as watches, jewelry and cars, to an invited group of Russian Investment companies, with the focus on bringing investment capital to the Costa Blanca, and in particular Torrevieja.
This is the first exhibition and conference that has been held in the International Auditorium. With thirty large stands, the foyer area is so large that upwards of possibly one hundred could be catered for, for a different style of show, with additional stand display areas also available on the first floor and cafe area, while the main auditorium can cater for upwards of more than 1,400 people for a conference or concert event and the smaller Roman Auditorium, 300.
With that number 1,400 in mind, Eduardo Dolon said that one of his highest priorities during his first term as Mayor is to seek hotel investment because the city finds itself in a ‘Catch 22’ situation, in that the first question asked by Event Organizers is about the hotel situation, of which Torrevieja has less than 2,000 beds to offer, throughout the city.
It’s hoped that this first event will become an annual affair, a meeting point for entrepreneurs and citizens with an interest in learning more about the Russian marketplace and for Russian investment specialists to chose the Costa Blanca for their projects, especially in Hotels, entertainment and housing. Many Russian companies, especially from the real estate sector were hoping to attract Russian investors and residents who will see the event as an opportunity to invest and start new business ties on the Costa Blanca.
The Costa Blanca Russian Meeting Point is organized by Mercaseguro Tok Group, SL, and they have managed to capture the attention of more than 60 Russian entrepreneurs and investors, plus entrepreneurs from different parts of Spain. The event has the support of the Russian Consulate, the Russian Orthodox Church, Ukrainian associations and the President of Hostemur.
Today, Friday, 25 January, the Consul of Kazakhstan is planning on visiting as he is keen to see first hand the businesses in the area, and to organize meetings between businessmen from his country and those here on the Costa Blanca. While the show is closed to the public, organizers invite all those Russian citizens who are interested in purchasing property, investing or starting a businesses on the Costa Blanca.
