Bahrain's presence at the World Travel Market served to successfully promote the nation as a tourism destination.

According to the Gulf Daily News, the 26-person Bahraini delegation included representatives from all major tour operators, hotels and other hospitality establishments from the country.

Head of marketing and promotion development for tourism affairs Ali Saeed told the publication that a range of presentations held at Bahrain's stand were well attended.

Assistant under-secretary for tourism affairs Fawzi Tolefat added: "We are confident that our participation in such global events will go a long way in firmly establishing Bahrain's position in the world tourism map."

The Bahrain Tribune recently reported that a former chairman of the tourism committee at the country's chamber of commerce, Abdulhakim Al Shammary, believes that the nation's landmark buildings should be used to promote its tourism sector.
