Gothenburg, foremost in Europe with unique venue

Gothenburg will soon have the largest fully integrated hotel, exhibition and conference facility in Europe now that it has been decided to add a third, even taller tower to Hotel Gothia Towers and extend the hotels' original East Tower. The new tower and the extension, which is slated to be ready in the end of 2014/beginning of 2015, will increase the number of rooms by more than 500 to a total of 1 200. Gothia Towers' third tower will be 100 meters high, making it the tallest occupied building in Gothenburg.
- The expansion will make us one of the absolute elite venues of the international meetings industry, says Roger Holtback, Chairman of the Board.

Carin Kindbom, President and CEO of the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre, sees the new hotel as a boost for the whole of Gothenburg.
- The intention is to achieve strong growth on the meetings side, she points out. She sees great potential, especially for international congresses.
- With one of the largest hotels in Europe as an integral part of our facility, we are looking to attract more conventions and more foreign visitors every year, something that will benefit all the hotels, restaurants, shops, transport companies and the like in Gothenburg.
- Providing everything under one roof also means we save time for delegates. In fact, not having to spend time getting from one place to another is a trump card when people are deciding where to locate their congresses and events.

In Carin Kindbom's view, the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre is pretty well uniquely placed.
- We're in the middle of town, right on the "Avenue of Events", within walking distance of most everything. So, we have everything we need to take on the battle for the biggest events.
