International Airport– A city that’s easy to live in: everything’s so close
With its international airport 15 minutes from the city centre, its Conference Centre offering over 30,000 m² of flexible space and a choice of nearly 200 hotels, Nice attracts excellence from the four corners of the earth. Whatever your project, Nice has something for you! Its advantages as a destination lie in the fact that it offers a global package: geographical location, heritage, amenities and the fact that the city is easy to live in.
A further advantage is that the city is so close to the surrounding network of high-tech industries and the leading scientific and medical research centre (Sophia-Antipolis technology park and its universities).
Nice: a leading city for sustainable development
Nice, the conference office and the firms involved in events organization and business tourism are particularly concerned about caring for and preserving the environment, which is a major asset to this outstanding city. They follow an eco-responsible approach and some of them have been awarded labels in recognition of their commitment. The city’s projects and structuring developments are undertaken in the same spirit (Promenade du Paillon, Allianz Riviera Stadium, clean transport, etc.).
