World Travel Market 2000

From November 13 to 16 the "World Travel Market 2000" is being held in London, one of the most important tourist fairs in the world.

According to the Councillor for Tourism of the Govern, the British market is the second in importance for the Balearics, with 3,407,775 tourists this year, from January to October to the Islands, with an increase of 3% in respect to the same period in 1999.

The Councillor for Tourism, Celestí Alomar, and the director for Ibatur, Tiffany Blackman, went to the fair to make contacts with the press and those responsible for the main British tour operators. On Tuesday 14th, the president of the Govern, Francesc Antich, also travelled to London to visit the Balearic stand and the stands of the Balearic firms represented at the Fair.

Meanwhile, the Riu Hotel chain will receive on Wednesday 15, the prize "Environmental Company Award". With this prize the organisers of the World Trade Market distinguish every year the firm of each European country that has carried out the best environment policy.
