Representatives from 170 countries worldwide are trying to promote their countries' tourism at the fair. Spanish King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia participated in the inauguration of the Madrid fair and the two visited the Turkish stand. The royal figures were welcomed to the Turkish stand by Justice Minister Sadullah Ergin who arrived in Madrid to attend an informal meeting of EU's justice ministers.

FITUR will end on January 24. |
