Participation in the World Culinary Travel Expo at EAT!

Manager, Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Office, Consulate General of Antigua and Barbuda, ON, Canada

 

Participating at the 2009 World Culinary Travel Expo at EAT! Vancouver show was a great way to showcase our products and services, especially with the announcement of our direct service to Spain from Vancouver. Culinary shows are the perfect tie in to travel and tourism as we see the increase in trend in special interest culinary travel.  The success of last year’s World Culinary Travel Expo at EAT! Vancouver show brought more consumer awareness on our non-stop flights from Vancouver to Barcelona and the season was a success; so much so that we have the direct flights for 2010 Barcelona and adding Madrid. This year is the perfect opportunity to showcase another new destination, Greece.--Carlo Trinidad, Director, Sales, Western Canada, Transat Holidays & NoliTours
