ABOUT THE DESTINATION:
The magical Azores Islands, the triumph of beauty - where nature, tradition and modernity live side-by-side, offers so much.
Attendees of The Inaugural World Congress will be touched by the sapphire blue and emerald green lakes, fertile prairies, volcanic cones and craters, colorful hydrangeas and azaleas, 15th century churches and majestic manor houses. This legendary land, consisting of nine poetically-named islands, enjoys year-round mild temperatures (between 14'C and 22'C-57'F and 71'F) and is a peaceful shelter with a population of 250 000 inhabitants, for whom the words "stress" and "pollution" are not part of their vocabulary.
