“There was tremendous interest in the Falklands” said Ms. Luxton (Pic L)

Falkland Islands Holidays represented by Jenny Luxton and Sue Smith attended the 39th Annual Travel Mart Latin America Tourism Business Development event in Guatemala this year.

 Ms Luxton said: “We had 35 scheduled meetings and several extra calling by.

“We went on three tours and this gave us a great opportunity to meet other suppliers and buyers enabling us to promote the Falklands with potential business partners.

We found this very helpful and our paths crossed throughout the week.”

She added that more Americans seemed to be attending the event, “this was useful for us since we meet many Europeans at Experience Latin America.

“There was tremendous interest in the Islands, largely as an add on to South America which is very useful, hopefully people visiting for one week will want to return for another visit. (PN)
