1. CILT CONVENTION 2018
03. - 06.06.2018
Wroclaw, Poland

2. Poland- Introduction
Great location. Poland is a country conveniently located in the centre of Europe, at
the crossroads of the main routes, providing access to both eastern and western
markets thus attracting tourism and business from all over the world.
Poland is ranked 20th worldwide in terms of GDP and classified as high-income
economy by World Bank. The largest component of its economy is the service
sector (62.3%), followed by industry (34.2%) and agriculture (3.5%).
Poland is also a country
that has been constantly
developing over the last 27
years to become the
economic tycoon of Eastern
Europe.

3. Wroclaw, the capital of the Lower Silesia, is also called the Venice of the north due
to number of bridges and footbridges. Wroclaw, a big education centre of CEE with
the total population of 700 thousand, has around 100 thousand students.
Wroclaw can be found
on the list of 230 cities
around the world in the
ranking of a consulting
company Mercer ‘The
Best City to Live in’ in
2015. The Guardian
placed Wroclaw among
the top ten places worth
visiting.

4. Doubletree by Hilton – a five-star hotel perfectly situated in the heart of the city, a
10-minute walking distance from the Old Town. Being the part of the OVO complex,
the hotel offers the access to numerous local objects such as recreational club, spa,
casino and restaurants.
Its streamlined shape resembles a
drop of water. The building is the
first Polish example of so called
blobitecture. This architectural
trend is inspired by rotund and
soft forms. In 2008, the concept of
OVO Wroclaw was distinguished
in Cannes by The Architectural
Review, granting OVO MIPIM
Future Projects Award.
