The Pardubice Region Offers Great Opportunities
for Convention Tourism
EAST BOHEMIA
The area of East Bohemia is located on the border between
Bohemia and Moravia in the north-eastern part
of the Czech Republic and includes the territory of the
Pardubice Region. The entire region has been dynamically
developing, and this applies also to convention tourism.
New modern convention centers with high accommodation
and catering capacities are being built. Naturally, they
also offer facilities for accompanying sports, cultural and
relaxation activities.
Thanks to its extensive offer of quality services, the Pardubice
Region is the ideal place for holding medium-sized
events. Accommodation can be arranged in three-star and
four-star hotels that have conference rooms and can provide
full conference services. Another advantage of this region
is its easy accessibility by road, train and plane.
The region also offers a whole range of tourist attractions
that offer a respite from business activities and can make
the official portion of conventions and other events more
interesting. A list of places that is worth visiting definitely
must include the town of Litomyšl with its unique castle
registered in the UNESCO World Heritage List, located
about 50 kilometers from Pardubice. The region’s capital,
Pardubice, also has a lot to offer.
THE EAST BOHEMIA CONVENTION BUREAU
The objective of the East Bohemia Convention Bureau is
to support and promote entities that provide convention,
corporate and incentive tourism services. The company also
helps to coordinate convention tourism in the Pardubice
Region. It offers consulting services such as event planning,
the selection of a suitable location, accommodation and accompanying
programs to MICE organizers in the region.

The Pilsen Region is situated in the western part
of the Czech Republic, about 85 km from Prague,
and 75 km from Prague’s international airport. It
is easily accessible via a four-lane highway. Visitors
may also use the international railway connection
between Nurnberg and Prague (stopping in Pilsen).
The bold statement that the Pilsen Region is an
ideal place for business, managerial or scientific
meetings is no hollow slogan. Promoting the Pilsen
Region as a suitable destination for congress and
incentive tourism is the main objective of the Pilsen
Convention Bureau, a non-profit organization that
is part of the Czech Convention Bureau national
association. Currently, the organization has 13
members, and expansion to include other attractive
members close to Pilsen under negotiation. The
Pilsen Convention Bureau offers complex top
professional quality services in the MICE market to
both local and foreign companies and organizations.
The selection of more than 2,000 beds and 40
quality meeting facilities with a combined capacity
of more than 4,000 will
satisfy the organizers of
large congresses, conferences, company meetings or
incentive programs. There is a wide range of various
leisure activities for visitors: sightseeing of historical
landmarks, old towns rich with tradition, pristine
nature in the vast virgin Bohemian Forest, theatre
performances, concerts, thrill sports and wellness
relaxation. Many attractive locations to stay and
hotels such as The PRIMAVERA Hotel & Congress
Centre, The Parkhotel and Congress Center Pilsen,
The Hotel Central Plzeň, The Hotel Victoria Plzeň
and others have modern equipment and up-todate
facilities, as well as offer a broad spectrum of
amenities for congress and incentive tourism.
The Pilsen Region works closely with the Pilsen
Convention Bureau charitable trust on creating and
delivering presentations at tourism trade fairs and
financially supports many of its activities.
We invite you to come to the Pilsen Region for y our
first – and, as we believe, not your last – conference,
congress or company meeting.

offer perfect settings for a wedding. The castles of Hluboká nad Vltavou, Český Krumlov,

capital city Bratislava, experience the times long
past, taste the regional delicacies and celebrate the

The region of wine and art offers a combination of
cultural impressions and genuine hospitality. The
Danube river connects the highlights of the region
– the former coronation town Bratislava, the ruins

T HANKS to its strategic position, excellent
transport connections and compact historical
city centre, Bratislava is the perfect venue for all
kinds of events. Whether you plan to organise a
small event or a bigger conference, you can be sure
Bratislava is the right choice. The city boast many
features that will attract clients to attend incentive
or thematic events here. The renovated historical
city centre with its pastel tones will enchant anyone
and everyone. Baroque palaces from the era of the
former Austro-Hungarian monarchy, charming
narrow streets and the bustling life of what is one of
the youngest capital cities in Europe, are just some of
the things that make up the day to day atmosphere
of the city. In the summer, the centre comes alive
with summer terraces and it is easy to imagine
that you are at the seaside in some Mediterranean
country. The overall coastal atmosphere is boosted
also by the many musical and theatrical events
that fill the city courtyards and squares in the
summer, as part of the oldest festival in the city,
Cultural Summer and Castle Festival. The yearround
cultural events of an international standard,
complemented by the warmth and friendliness of
local residents, contribute substantially to making
the city the perfect venue for MICE events.
Good food and wine are also among those topics
that interest anyone who appreciates original
dishes and quality beverages. For centuries the
excellent wines produced around Bratislava were
always served at the royal courtyards, and members
of the royal family would consume red wine like
a medicine. This wine-growing tradition is now
enjoying a renaissance and the many awards
received at competitions around the world are
proof of the quality of wines and of the efforts of
winegrowers to serve only the very best in the wine
cellars of the Little Carpathian region.
THE dynamic development of Bratislava in recent
years has been driven forward by several projects
that have greatly boosted and improved the level of
quality on offer for MICE events. Visitors coming
to the city make use not only of the international
airport in Bratislava, but also the international
airport in Vienna just 45 km away. Travellers to
Bratislava will now have even better connections
and greater comfort thanks to the new departures
terminal at M.R. Štefánik airport in Bratislava,
which is due to open before the 2010 summer
season Bratislava airport is therefore fast becoming
an important regional centre for low-cost flights.

MICE Destination
with Great Potential – Slovakia
More and more people attend congresses and conferences in Slovakia each year. And
there is more than just one reason for it.
With its rich culture, traditions and magnificent historical places, Slovakia offers each
visitor an unexpected experience.
Combine this with its ideal location in Central Europe and you will get a combination
that MICE organizers love. Slovakia is easily accessible: the number of air connections
from the M. R. Štefánik Bratislava International Airport is constantly growing and a
short ride on a highway takes you from the Slovak capital to the Schwechat Airport
in Vienna in less than an hour.
Slovakia is a small country, so you can see almost all of it in a relatively brief stay. And
there is a lot to see. Five towns and monuments have been included in the UNESCO
heritage list, and the country also has two entries in the UNESCO list of natural phenomena.
Slovakia is a very safe destination that can guarantee you a hassle-free visit.
When organizing an event in Slovakia, you will have many opportunities to offer
your participants more than just work and debates in congress halls. Ski centers,
spas, castles, theatres, or the opportunity to play on golf courses that are nestled in
between beautiful natural scenery.
Slovakia´s capital on both banks of the Danube river offers a variety of sightseeing
opportunities, accommodation in top quality hotels and so many restaurants, cafés,
bars and pubs that they even call the streets of Bratislava´s Old Town “one big restaurant.”
You will get good value for your money. The selection is broad and comes at reasonable
and competitive prices.
Experience Slovakia! You will not regret it!
