Gulf Air, the national carrier of Bahrain, presented an award to UK-based Skylord Travel, honouring the firm for 'Best Growth in Sales' for delivering the highest growth in leisure sales (up 53 per cent year on year) in 2016.

The award was conferred at WTM, which recently concluded in London.

Bahrain’s national carrier has a long history with WTM and has been a key exhibitor for many years. The exhibition is an annual global event attended by key international players and professionals of the travel industry and provides a unique opportunity for global travel trade industry members to meet, network, negotiate, and conduct business. The airline’s attendance at the event is in line with its longstanding mission and continuous efforts to promote the Kingdom of Bahrain to an international audience as a tourist and business destination.
