Mayor of Malaga Town Hall, Francisco De La Torre, and British Airways online and direct sales manager, Keith Chuter put pen to paper this month, signing a letter of intent, making official their plans to further promote Malaga City in the British market. The letter lays the foundations of a two year agreement that will see British Airways use their online channels, to highlight the many flights available to Malaga from the UK, and further increase tourism to the city.
The agreement, set to begin in early 2010, will incorporate a two phase marketing, media and advertising campaign. Phase one will see British Airways expand their online channels, allowing them to greater promote and sell Malaga. Two fam trips will take place to highlight the city’s Picasso links, cultural and historic offerings, year-round events, fantastic gastronomy and prestigious hotels.
Phase two will involve the expansion of communication channels and development of advertising campaigns. The campaign will also see British Airways contract tours to the city, which will appear on the Malaga Turismo website, with a hyperlink to the British Airways website.
The agreement is scheduled to end in the Spring/Summer of 2011 however, if the campaign has been a great success it’s likely a further two year agreement will be signed.
British Airways currently operates 12 flights from the UK to Malaga every week and also offers a range of hotels and car hire. It’s hoped this winning partnership with the Malaga Council of Tourism, will not only encourage more consumers to use the route but, will also encourage those visiting to explore the city and discover more about its rich heritage.
