ATA PROMOVE VOO INAUGURAL GATWICK-FARO

No âmbito da nova rota Gatwick-Faro operada pela Aer Lingus, a partir de 26 de Abril, a Associação Turismo do Algarve (ATA), em parceria com a sua agência de Relações Publicas no Reino Unido – Hills Balfour Synergy, a delegação do AICEP de Londres e a companhia aérea irlandesa, promove uma mega visita educacional com agentes do sector e jornalistas britânicos.
