BRISTOL AIRPORT is showcasing the West of
England to airlines from across the globe at the World Route Development (WRD)
Forum in Chicago.
The WRD forum – the world’s largest commercial
aviation event – gives airports and tourism organizations the chance to meet
with airlines to discuss new route opportunities.
The airport has teamed up with tourism organizations
Destination Bristol and Bath Tourism Plus to promote the West Country to the world’s established and emerging airlines.
The move comes as the number of foreign
residents using Bristol Airport has almost trebled in the last decade, with more than a million
journeys made by overseas visitors from 82 different countries in 2012.
Besides the one-on-one meetings with airlines,
Bristol and Bath will showcase images of the West of England at the
VisitEngland stand to 3,000 delegates, including representatives of 300
airlines.
Meetings at last year’s World Routes in Las
Vegas helped Destination Bristol to securing this summer’s twice-weekly
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) service from Stockholm, which brought large numbers Swedish
visitors to the city.
