Visit Savannah’s director of tour, travel and international sales, Mindy Shea, recently attended World Travel Market, which is held in London every year. Over the course of a week she met with nearly 40 tour operators and several key media contacts, all in an effort to promote Savannah to UK travelers. With British Airways beginning direct service from London to Charleston in 2019, there’s more opportunity than ever to spotlight Savannah to European travelers. Savannah and the state tourism office partnered with Travel South in their booth to promote our destinations. She is pictured above with Tracy Vaughan, director of international accounts with Georgia Tourism; Kevin Langston, Georgia tourism commissioner; Della Tully, Georgia Tourism representative in the UK; and Brandon Barnes, international sales director for the Atlanta CVB. Members of the Georgia team are pictured below meeting with tour operators at their booth.
