For her family vacation next year, Liz Thimm has booked a 10-day trip to Bocas del Toro, Panama, in February. She requested time off from her pharmacist job a year in advance, checked out guidebooks from the library and has shared itinerary ideas with her daughter and son — who are 11 and 9 — to involve them in the planning process.

Quito Turismo will be attending the new edition of World Travel Market, from 6-8 November 2023 at ExCel (London). This is one of the most important international tourism events, with the aim of promoting the capital’s top tourism products to the British market, as well as establishing relationships that will boost the flow of tourists with the European market. The outstanding work done by Quito Turismo in recent months has enabled the city to take part in the fair with its own stand, S3-405, accompanied by a select representation from the Quito tourism sector, offering the opportunity for interviews and to make new contacts and businesses. This year, Giohana Albuja, Quito Turismo technical manager, and Katia Freire, European market promotion coordinator, will be responsible for representing Quito at the fair, showing the best of the city to the press, tour operators and travel agents. Over the three days, destination presentations will be shown at the stand: Monday 6 November, 12:30-13:30 and 16:00-17:00; Tuesday 7 November, 12:30-13:30 and 16:00-17:00, and Wednesday 8 November, 11:30-12:30. Sampling will also take place at the stand on 6 and 7 November at 17:00, where visitors can taste canelazo, a traditional drink from Quito.  For yet another year, Quito Turismo’s presence at the World Travel Market reaffirms its commitment to positioning the city as a top tourism destination, driving the local economy, gastronomy, customs and traditions that make it unique.

It’s not everyday that you face a travel crisis like a canceled flight and, as a solution, book a Lufthansa first-class ticket across the Atlantic.
