Stansted promotes Essex

The County of Essex and Stansted Airport have joined forces to showcase the very best of the county for 2012 and beyond to a group of top airline executives.

Guests enjoyed a fun packed day as part of a familiarisation trip to promote the tourism opportunities and highlight the benefits the Olympics will bring to businesses in Essex.  The highpoint included a visit to the new Lee Valley white water rafting centre, host venue for the London 2012 Olympics.

easyJet, bmibaby, Pegasus and Aurigny were just some of the airlines represented on the trip, which also included a VIP tour of a new contemporary arts venue in Colchester and an overnight stay at the Lifehouse Spa hotel in Thorpe Le Soken.

Organiser Lisa Bone, Strategic Tourism Manager, Essex Tourism, said: “Visit Essex was delighted to host delegates from Stansted airport and airline colleagues.  We had a great day visiting some of the newest attractions in the county and it was an excellent opportunity to showcase what Essex has to offer as a destination.” www.visitessex.com www.stanstedairport.com
