Papua New Guinea has confirmed it will be exhibiting at World Travel Market for the first time this November.

Demand from tour operators prompted by enquiries from travellers encouraged The Papua New Guinea Tourism Promotion Authority to open a London office earlier this year and consequentially it was deemed important for the London team to exhibit at World Travel Market.

Leith Isaac, director of marketing for the Authority is travelling to the UK to be at the event.

He commented from Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea: “We have recently had a steady increase in Tourism from both the UK and Europe and feel strongly that this market which has already shown great enthusiasm for Papua will have an opportunity to meet and discus our wonderful destination with members of our team at World Travel Market.”

Since the London office opened last January an increasing number of tour operators in the UK are now featuring this diverse destination.
