00:00 The resumption of service by Condor Airlines on Tuesday comes as Chief Secretary Farley
00:06 Augustine and his team wrapped up their attendance at the 2023 edition of the World Travel Market.
00:13 Chief Secretary Farley Augustine speaking at the World Travel Market in London said
00:18 Tobago has a lot more work to do in ensuring that the tourist numbers are up and all hands
00:24 are on deck towards making this a reality.
00:27 "Already for the day I've met with other ministers, we went to the ministers summit,
00:33 that's ministers of tourism and ministers of government. I've met with British Airways,
00:40 I've met with Wanderlust and we won their award last year and Wanderlust is coming to Tobago
00:48 in December, its owner is coming in Tobago in December. We will then do an editorial piece
00:54 and then Tobago will also be ranked for the Wanderlust viewers."
00:59 Mr Augustine said over 40 meetings were secured during the World Travel Market.
01:06 "We have to split up at times to get the meetings out and to get the negotiations
01:10 through. We're talking about tour guides and tour operators and other airlines so it's a lot of work
01:16 but it's absolutely critical for Tobago to be here and to be here in such an impressive way."
01:21 And even as the Chief Secretary and his team are securing meetings comes the return of Condor
01:27 Airlines which resumed operations to Tobago on Tuesday afternoon. The new look Condor Airlines
01:34 is blue and white. The aircraft arrived with 71 passengers and later departed with 19 passengers.
01:42 British Airways also arrived at the A&R Robinson International Airport before Condor Airlines.
01:51 "We also had meetings with Guyanese Tourism, we had meetings with the Caribbean Council which is
01:57 a massive investment of course here in the UK. The British High Commissioner, our High Commissioner
02:05 to the United Kingdom, we met with him as well." Elizabeth Williams, TV6 News.
