The ceremony saw the presence of key figures such as their CEO Travis Dahm, and board member Salvatore Buccellato, highlighting their support of this enduring partnership.

Turismo Andalucía’s Marketing Executive Manager Juan Manuel Ortiz Pascual and Digital Marketing Manager Moisés Rubiño also attended the signing ceremony. This strategic move reflects their commitment to promote this tourist destination in the Chinese market through Petal Ads, starting already during the Golden Week Festival Season.

Juan Manuel Ortiz Pascual, Marketing Executive Manager of Turismo Andalucía, elaborated on the opportunities and challenges of tourism in the new era of globalization, and the importance of Chinese tourists to Spain. He stressed “how to accurately and efficiently reach high-quality potential outbound tourism users will be the key to marketing”.
