World Travel Market London

As you may know some of the ambassadors were selected to a second mission after Iceland.

One ambassador of each island were selected to represent the Canary Islands in the World Travel Market in London, which is one of the most important tourism fairs in the world.

After a flight to Madrid from the different islands all the ambassadors met in Barajas airport and we started our trip to London.

We arrived to London and we had dinner and we talked about how the Iceland mission chages our lifes and all the friends we made on the way. after a short visit to the London downtown we came back soon to the hotel to stay fresh for the mission.

So the mission started about ten in the morning in the ExCel centre and by that time we started to work showing the visitors our new tool of information. This new system works with a tactile digital screen and show the visitor all the information of the four brands of the Canary Islands (Family Welcome, Wellnes Delight, Water Sports and Volcanic Experience) with videos and pictures in a easy way.

The visitors were surprised that we were in the fair working as volunteers, we explain to them our mission on Iceland and that we do that for free because we love our islands and our purpose it´s share our fortune with all the visitors who wants to come to the Canary Islands.

London has been the second mission but we don´t know when will be the next mission and who will be the chosen one to come but we are ready to share our fortune in the whole world whenever is necessary.

And remember... Say no to Winter Blues and come to the Canary Islands!

World Travel Market de Londres. Entrevista Manuel Luque


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.
