Dear Subscriber,

 

Helene LloydLooking forward to meet you all at WTM, along with my colleague Maria Gorbacheva, we are both available for meetings, so please inform me if you would like a meeting and we can put it in the diary now. TMI has been particularly busy organizing a roadshow for Trentino in Moscow, St-Petersburg, Ekaterinburg and Almaty and is about to start a roadshow for Bhutan in Moscow and St-Petersburg. At the same time, we are busy preparing for the B2B workshop in Almaty and Baku for April 2013, those interested please sign up as soon as possible, or to receive information on this event and these oil rich markets, by clicking the following link on Linked In, Facebook and Twitter and clicking LIKE.
To see the first 6 months figures for 2012, go to the 'Feature', where Rosstats figures show an overall increase of 7%. However, the figures much disputed this year and there are sometimes quite large differences with those of the national tourism boards.

Best regards,

Helene Lloyd
Director
TMI Consultancy
