Tissue World 2013 will be taking place at the ultra-modern Fira Gran Via Congress center which is conveniently located between the city center and Barcelona's El Prat international airport. The event will take place March 18-21, 2013.A confirming factor in the decision to bring the event to Barcelona for the first time was the survey taken last year of all Tissue World visitors and exhibitors, which showed a very clear preference for Barcelona. As an added note, the survey revealed an overwhelming preference for the Tissue World event to remain on a two-year cycle.After having been held in Nice, France, for nearly 20 years, the general idea is to begin rotating the big Tissue World event among a selection of cities.
