MANCHESTER, England, Sept. 18, 2012 /PRN=KYODO JBN/ --
The seniority of delegates registered for World Routes, the 18th World
Route Development Forum is higher than at any previous event. This year has
seen high level registrations from all sectors of the industry including
airline and airport CEOs and Ministers of Tourism.
Participation from Tourism Authorities from around the world is stronger
than ever at this year's event, which will take place from 29 September to 2
October 2012 in Abu Dhabi. Many destinations, including Mexico (the world's 2nd
largest tourism economy), Greece, St. Maarten, Sarawak, Trinidad and Tobago,
the Seychelles, South Africa and the Philippines, amongst others have also
confirmed that their Minister for Tourism will be in attendance at World Routes
with many delivering ministerial destination briefings as part of the Routes
Talks Tourism programme.
The number of Ministers who have registered for the event confirms that
destinations view route development as an integral part of their economic
development and that, as stakeholders, it is important for them to have a
presence at World Routes, the largest commercial aviation event.
With 40 airline CEOs currently register to attend World Routes, this year
will also see more senior airline delegates in attendance than in previous
years. The total number of C-level delegates registered for World Routes in Abu
Dhabi is 60 and if other senior delegates such as Vice Presidents and
Commercial Directors are included the total rises to almost 200.
Carriers which have confirmed that their CEO will be in attendance in Abu
Dhabi include, amongst many others, Kenya Airways, Air Arabia, CSA-Czech
Airlines, Etihad Airways, Vueling and Air Seychelles. Many other attending
airlines have also confirmed that they will bring senior representatives to the
event including Air Berlin's Senior Vice President Network Planning &
Development and Iberia Airlines' SVP Strategy.
This year World Routes will also see a number of senior airport delegates
in attendance as registrations have already been received from CEOs of
companies such as Aeroports de Montreal, Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, Bahrain
International Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Manchester
Airport Group, St Petersburg International Pulkovo Airport and Los Angeles
World Airports.
VP and Commercial, Routes, Nigel Mayes says: "We are thrilled with level of
seniority that this year's event has attracted from all sectors of the
industry. This interest in World Routes further strengthens our position as the
world's leading commercial aviation event for route development and the number
of Ministers for Tourism in attendance from around the world shows how
important stakeholders are during the process of securing new routes to many
destinations."
