World Routes 2013: Airport & Tourism attendance continues to grow!

Over 2,000 delegates have confirmed their attendance at this year’s World Routes event and with six more weeks before the event opens in Las Vegas this number is sure to grow significantly.

Over 1050 airport delegates have so far registered to attend the event which is a year on year increase of 16% and with recent registrations received from Aeropuertos del Peru, Wuhan Tianhe International Airport, Belfast international Airport and Chelyabinsk Airport , the number of airports represented now totals 677.

This year, Routes have also seen an increase in US airports registering for the event and first time confirmed registrations most recently received from Capital Region International Airport, Fort Wayne-Allen County International Airport, Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, Wilmington International Airport, Charlottesville – Albemarle Airport, Trenton-Mercer Airport and Fresno Yosemite International Airport.

Tourism authorities well represented

Tourism authority representation also continues to go from strength to strength with almost 150 delegates registered. Beijing Tourism will be outlining their new 72 hour transit visa policy during a destination briefing as part of the World Tourism Summit whilst other confirmed destination briefings will come from Texas Tourism, Ministry of Tourism Haiti, Japan Tourism Agency, Tourism Australia and World Routes 2015 Hosts KwaZulu-Natal Province.

Many tourism authorities are now attending World Routes to work alongside and support airports from their region or country. Visit England will attend the event for the first time this year, taking both an exhibition and sponsorship package to support some of the English airports in attendance and their CEO will also speak at the World Tourism Summit. Similarly Office National des Aeroports (ONDA) and the Moroccan National Tourist Office (ONMT) will take an exhibition stand together and both CEOs will lead this delegation.

Raise the level of awareness of your organisation

World Routes provides the perfect platform to raise awareness of your organisation, airport or destination to key air service development decision makers from all over the globe. Sponsorship at World Routes provides a great means of broadening your competitive edge by improving the image, prestige and credibility of your airport, brand or destination in front of the world’s airlines. Alternatively, an exhibition stand at World Routes will allow the industry’s decision makers to become more familiar with what you have to offer allowing you to set apart your brand from your competitors’ and showcase any developments at your airport or destination.
