Norwich International Airport’s travel show, which is now in its sixth year, achieved record visitor numbers last weekend with circa 2,000 people attending, all keen to find out as much as possible about the wide range of holidays and flights available from their local airport.
Over 20 airline and tour operator exhibitors attended the event including KLM and Thomson with many commenting that Norwich International’s event is one of the busiest and most successful they attend across the UK and all were delighted with the response this year.
The evening prior, Norwich International, the airlines and tour operators hosted a local travel agents event with over seventy travel experts enjoying an informative, fun evening at Sprowston Manor Hotel. Andrew Bell, CEO, Norwich International Airport commented “This year’s show was undoubtedly the best we have put on in the six years the event has been running, with record visitor numbers. Its a fantastic opportunity for everyone within the Airport’s catchment area to meet airline and tour operator representatives and obtain first-hand knowledge and advice on the destinations they offer from our airport. Our travel show and travel agent event are the only time each year we have so many key travel industry personnel together collectively in Norwich and its testament to the support local people give to these events that they are willing to come. “
An added attraction at the year’s show was the unveiling of ‘Wish you were here’ the airport sponsored dragon which will be part of Break’s 2015 GoGo Dragon trail in Norwich.
The success of last weekend’s travel show comes as an added boost for the airport following recent announcements of new flights for holidaymakers in 2015 to Menorca, along with the news that Thomson Holidays will be offering twice weekly flights to Tenerife next winter.
