With the aim of its establishment with time, Gibraltar is back, with the rock, to World Travel Market in four years. The Cordoba Agreement has solved the political problems between Spain and Gibraltar.
Fiona Jeffery, World Travel Market's Managing Director says: "We are delighted to be welcoming back our friends from Gibraltar who clearly will be able to enjoy the global business opportunities that the event offers to exhibitors".
Gibraltar Tourist Office UK lady representative Tracey Poggio says: "Iberia and British Airways have begun flights and the route is already proving a tremendous success. A new Barcelona route is also promised".
"In addition, the new agreement now includes Gibraltar in European aviation regulations, allowing carriers from the rest of Europe to fly in. What it has done is open up Gibraltar to a new international audience".
The government has disclosed various creative methods for Gibraltar Airport, its hotels and comfortable infrastructure which will be accomplished by the end of 2008, in order to serve the increased number of visitors.
"UK visitors have been our mainstay and figures remain strong," says Poggio. "If we are honest the numbers bring us close to saturation point. We welcome around eight million visitors a year, which in terms of area means we are one of the most densely populated places in Europe".
One of the leading British architects, Sir Norman Foster, is working on the project of £350 million Sovereign Bay development on the eastern side of Gibraltar in order to compose a marina, luxury hotels and fine dining choice on an area of retrieved land.
