World Travel Market de Londres. Entrevista Manuel Luque

By Nauzet, canarian ambassador

We would like to share with you the interview of Manuel Luque, canarian ambassador at Wordl Travel Market.

1. What do you think of the World Travel Market?
The best show I've ever attended. It's amazing how well organized this and the number of people worldwide who come to this event.

2. What tasks you performed at the fair?

My task was mainly to capture people to our stand and explain the hallmarks of quality and clarify questions about our islands.

3. How about welcoming people at the booth of canary islands? Did you leave satisfied and convinced?

Almost everyone talked about our stand. Not only for its color and its staging, with dancing and shows every so often, if not by the technology used to provide information to stakeholders. There touchscreens with pictures and videos of the places belonging to the quality marks. So with two clicks you could know which of the 7 islands could go diving or climbing, for example.

4. What people were talking about as this new proposal from the Canary Islands?

Many of them did not understand, but when it captured were very impressed. I think it had a very good acceptance.

5. On a personal level, you think about the attendance at this important fair Canary and that impact may have to think long term for our islands.

I really think it is vital that the Canaries were there, one of the most important events of the world for tourism is concerned. And not only that if everyone and I mean all the countries represented at the fair, spoke positively of us. As for how long term will also depend partly on the journalistic and political support. I also believe that attracting more tourists and not only that, what is more important, quality tourists.
