SUMMARY:EXTREMADURA BIRDWATCHING FAIR (FIO 2015)
DESCRIPTION:Like every year\, the Extremadura Birdwatching Fair (FIO 2015) will be held in an emblematic place for birdwatching professionals and amateurs in the south of Europe: Villareal de San Carlos\, in the heart of the Monfragüe National Park. \nDuring FIO 2015 there will be conferences\, visits to Monfragüe National Park\, workshops and all kind of activities for children\, one of the strengths of FIO. We will also get to know the latest news in the world of nature tourism and photography from over 70 companies and organizations that will be present at the fair. \nPoster FIO 2015 \nFIO 2015 will have an exhibitor zone divided in three areas. The first one will be devoted to the sale of optical and photography products. The second one will focus on the travel and tourism industry\, where companies\, public institutions and associations interested in the promotion of ornithological and nature tourism will be located. And\, lastly\, there will be an art and nature area where painters\, sculptors and artists will display their work. \nThis year\, FIO will also have three tents or zones for conferences and presentations. As in previous editions\, there will be a general conference programme\, with talks about difference topics related to ornithology\, nature tourism and the information of conservation programmes\, and a second conference programme specifically devoted to photography (FotoFIO). \nAs a novelty\, this year there will be a third programme of presentations on the art of nature\, where the artists present at FIO will show the everyday life of their creative work\, and will interact with the people. \nWhere to stay and how to get to FIO\nThe city with the greatest hotel offer is Plasencia\, a small monumental city which is well worth a visit. From there we can reach the FIO in a private vehicle in about 30 minutes. \nFIO’s connection to the nearby towns by public transport is one of the outstanding points from previous editions. Unfortunately\, unless we have a last-minute surprise\, this year it won’t be possible either to attend FIO by public transport. \nFotoFIO 2015 Programme \nFotoFIO has confirmed the first conference programme. Here you can find the list of conferences and workshops that will be carried out.
