Canary Islands go to World Travel Market

The Canary Islands pavilion at this year's World Travel Market show in London, will, in the words of the Tourist Council, be "novel". The show, which runs from Monday 6 - Thursday 9 November, unites 5,000 travel companies from 177 countries.

The 679 square meter Canary Islands pavilion, which "symbolizes the dynamism of the Canary Islands tourist offer", will be divided into three modules.

Tenerife and Gran Canaria will occupy a space of 112 square meters; La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote will share a circular area in the center of the pavilion, with a further 180 square meters of space upstairs.

Councillor for Tourism, Manuel Fajardo, says that the Canary Islands are going to the London fair with good tourism figures. In the eight months of the year to date, foreign tourism in the islands has increased by four percent on the previous year, while tourism from the Spanish mainland has evolved even better, with a 7% increase.
