together leading international experts, tourism policy
makers and specialized media. The Think Tank was chaired
by Hon. Mrs. Juliana Azumah Mensah (M.P.), Minister
of Tourism of Ghana and Mr. Taleb Rifai, UNWTO Secretary-General

on the role of tourism in preserving and maintaining
diversity, as well as encouraging international cooperation,
all in the context of accelerating economic and cultural

BAA
submits its Generation 2 (G2) planning applications for
the development of a second runway at Stansted Airport.
The proposal is the result of four years of intensive
and rigorous planning work to deliver this key milestone
of the Government’s Air Transport White Paper. Stansted
is to be the location for the first new runway in the
South East of England for over 50 years. The two-runway,
two-terminal airport is expected to be open in 2015, serving
68 million passengers a year in around 2030.
