New route and attractions to see rise in UK visitors to Seattle

#SEATTLE is expected to be one of the fastest-growing US destinations for UK travellers in 2017 with a Virgin Atlantic direct non-stop daily flight scheduled for launch in March, more than eight new hotels opening before 2018, and exposure of the state of Washington through the new Twin Peaks TV series. 

In the second quarter of this year, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport saw a 10% increase in the number of passengers travelling through the airport, rising to 12 million people during that period, making it busier than London Gatwick. Overall, Seattle-Tacoma’s passenger numbers have increased for 31 consecutive months.

The city’s most recent tourism attraction is the three-acre, £16 million Pavilion at the Museum of Flight. It features the world’s only full-scale NASA Space Shuttle Trainer, Air Force One, Concorde, the B-17, B-29, and B-47 bombers.

Founded in 1965, The Museum of Flight is one of the world’s largest air and space museums. The collection includes more than 160 historically significant aircraft and spacecraft.
