Management bodies for the Plan

In order to carry out the reflection process on tourism and the city, Turisme de Barcelona, in association with the City Council, decided to set up an ad hoc Strategic Plan Office, manned by a coordinator and a team of managers who are responsible for developing the reflection process on tourism and the city throughout the two-year period of 2008-2010.

Enric Truñó, who has long-standing experience in the world of tourism and municipal politics, has been appointed coordinator of the Strategic Plan.

The Office is staffed by a team of multidisciplinary managers: Joan Serra, content manager; Xavier Suñol, operations manager; Jordi Moll and Saida Palou, managerial team. The Office also has a head of administration, Míriam Antequera.

The managerial structure of the Plan is organised around three main bodies: Technical Committee, Advisory Committee and Board of Directors, who guarantee the development of the Plan.

The permanent Technical Committee, comprises the general manager of Turisme de Barcelona, Pere Duran, the assistant manager, Joana Homs, the director of territorial promotion and tourism from the Economic Promotion Department at Barcelona City Council, Joan Torrella, and the coordinator and members of the Strategic Plan Office. The Technical Committee is responsible for guaranteeing the dynamics of the process of the Plan.

The Office receives backup from tourism experts who sit on the Advisory Committee and contribute their views and review the process and work of the Strategic Plan. Josep Ros, Francesc López Palomeque, Josep Chias and Ángel Díaz are advisory members of the Plan.

The Executive Council of the Turisme de Barcelona Consortium acts as the Board of Directors of the Plan. The council comprises representatives from local institutions, the City Council and Chamber of Commerce, as well as representatives from the world of tourism and the city. This year the board has expanded to include several municipal groups.
