Another #WTMLDN has come to an end! Fantastic to welcome the Tourism Minister Sir Chris Bryant to World Travel Market (WTM) London. We had a packed agenda with CEO Patricia Yates and Director of Partnerships Louise Bryce all in attendance to meet with key stakeholders to boost inbound and domestic tourism. Our CEO Patricia Yates, as one of her many engagements, spoke at the opening of the China pavilion, highlighting the importance of Chinese visitors to Britain and emphasising the growing number of direct airline routes into our regional gateways from China. It was a great chance to catch up with industry friends, partners and colleagues at the UKinbound stand, as we work together to grow the value of #tourism to our nations and regions. Thank you UKinbound and all our industry partners for your energy and enthusiasm over the past three days. See you all soon!

Our CEO Patricia Yates: "Growing airline connectivity into key regional gateways including #Newcastle is crucial to our competitive tourism offer and to our welcome.  “These new direct routes from Paris and Amsterdam to Newcastle act as a gateway to the North East and beyond, making it easier for visitors from these incredibly important European markets to explore more of our nations and regions, spreading visitor spending right across Britain.” Nick de Bois CBE Destination North East England Newcastle International Airport Tracey Edginton Gary Robson Margot Eggink Gavin Landry Severine Tharreau-Nanguy Florence Valette-Desmier

Our CEO Patricia Yates at World Travel Market (WTM) London today speaking at the opening of the #China Pavilion. A great opportunity to showcase our welcome and to highlight the importance of our visitors from China and #tourism’s role in building cultural & people-to-people connections. Our research shows #Britain is the most popular destination outside Asia for Chinese visitors in the coming year. We also want visitors from #China to explore more of #Britain beyond London. And the growing number of direct airline routes from China into regional gateways including #Manchester & #Edinburgh are exciting opportunities to do that. #WTM24 Nick de Bois CBE Gavin Landry Travis Qian Carol Maddison Jo MA Rachael Farrington Beth Reynard Marketing Manchester Manchester Airport Edinburgh Airport VisitScotland
