Sharjah pavilion at World Travel Market 2015 receives prominent figures from European tourism markets

The Sharjah pavilion at the World Travel Market 2015 attracted huge number of choice makers, high profile dignitaries and tourism industry agents on the very first day of the leading travel occasion.

On the occasion, His Excellency Khalid Jasim Al Midfa, Chairman of Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority (SCTDA), invited Christopher Rodrigues CBE, Chairman of VisitBritain at the pavilion. During the meeting, they talked about the most current advancements in the tourist sector around the world and in both locations, in addition to future cooperation.

Speaking on the celebration, HE Khalid Jasim Al Midfa stressed the importance of the Sharjah delegation's conferences with senior travel and tourist industry officials, mentioning that the engagements have actually supported strengthening Sharjah's relations with the European market. The conferences will lead the way for more increase in the number of European tourists to the emirate and boosted financial investment ties, he said.

The exhibition is of specific significance for SCTDA considering that the occasion consists of the pioneers of the tourist market in addition to decision-makers and experts from all over the world.
