REUNION TOURISM SHOWCASES THEIR BRAND TO THE WORLD IN LONDON
(Posted 06th November 2014)
Vanilla Islands’ founder member Reunion is this week taking advantage of being seen at the World Travel Market in London by an estimated 50.000 tourism trade visitors in order to promote the island as one of the world’s leading adventure destinations located in the tropical zone of the Indian Ocean.
Together with Ile de la Reunion Tourisme, in short IRT, are home airline Air Austral exhibiting too as are hotels and DMC’s to make sure that the recent increase in visitor numbers continues well into 2015.
Given the range of tourism activities on this French Indian Ocean island and in particular the growing emphasis on active adventure holidays which the island offers to visitors besides the more traditional beach vacations is Reunion uniquely positioned to take advantage of demand from the European markets as all the flights from Europe to Reunion are ‘domestic’ and require a standard ID instead of a passport for citizens of the European Union.
Air Austral, as home airline based on the island, offers an airpass which allows holders of a long haul ticket to fly to the other Indian Ocean Vanilla Islands like Mauritius, Madagascar, Mayotte and of course the Seychelles, throwing open the doors of multi island vacations which allow visitors to sample the different destinations at a very affordable cost.
The Reunion stand is headed by Anne Etheve who is responsible for the UK market at IRT. For added details on Destination Reunion click on www.reunion.fr
