MARSEILLE, THE BOOMING DESTINATION IN PROVENCE

In less than two decades, France’s oldest and second largest city has jumped on the 21st century bandwagon to become an innovative economic and cultural metropolis, at the forefront of revolutions in sustainable development and eco-responsibility. This ambition has been reinforced by the World Conservation Congress held in September 2021, the results of which can be seen in the labels and certifications awarded (Green Key label, ISO 20121 certification, GDS Index, Ecotable label). These labels are required for the hosting of six Rugby World Cup matches in 2023, as well as for the Regatta during the 2024 Olympic Games. These two events confirm that Marseille is now a major player in the international event industry. Land of international events, third French City at the ICCA ranking - International Congress & Convention Association, in 10 years, the number of events hosted in Aix Marseille has been multiplied by 3 thanks to its 4 convention centres located in the city center and outstanding venues (Casa Delauze, Château La Coste, Chateau Pont Royal, Mx Marseille, Mucem, museum, Orange Vélodrome Stadium, Les Halles de la Major...)

Between the Mediterranean Sea and the Sainte-Victoire Mountain, the territory of Aix-Marseille Metropolis offers business tourism and congresses a vast choice of places activities and team building options.
