scope of Sicur meetings nationally
within Spain when considering
the breakdown of visitor attend-

presence of visitors from all 17
Spanish communities and from
the autonomous cities of Ceuta
and Melilla. After the visiting pro-

the show saw the largest group
coming from Catalonia, with
3,000 professionals registered, fol-
lowed by Andalusia and Valencia.

most came from within Europe,

France, as well as from Latin Amer-
ica, particularly from Colombia,
Mexico, Venezuela and Ecuador.

countries of the Maghreb, a market
with significant potential to boost
