¿Qué acciones hacen para dar a conocer la oferta del Santiago de Compostela Convention Bureau fuera de España?
El Santiago de Compostela Convention Bureau **está presente en** las principales organizaciones estatales e internacionales y participa en todas las ferias de promoción que considera interesantes para la ciudad. También establece convenios de colaboración concretos con aquellas organizaciones que pueden aportar un valor añadido a la oferta de la ciudad. |
| | | is involved in | Explanation:
This might be a good option in this particular context.
As for a literal translation, I think it would be fine if the context were a country, region or market (as Ashwin has pointed out).
Another option might be "...participates in xxx, as well as in yyy..." (using the second verb in the sentence just once).

In checking in on this question once again, I hadn't noticed your suggestion (of "involved in"). Obviously, I agree. With all due to respect to other prozians, to say that a convention bureau has "a presence" in an organization sounds a bit strange (at least to me). As for "member," this implies that the bureau has a membership in those organizations, which may not be true (and may be the reason the writer chose "presencia").

| Grading comment Hi Marcelo - I agree with your points - 'presence' is too vague here and sounds a bit odd I think, and neither can I presume that the organisation is an actual member, so I think this is the safest bet here.
