It now seems that TAP Portugal is in very advanced discussions with the World Sport Destination Expo, which is the first global exhibition dedicated to the booming sports tourism sector. The discussion is about TAP Portugal wanting to become an airline partner for the World Sport Destination Expo.

This move to partner up with the World Sport Destination Expo, which will take place in Johannesburg in the final week of the FIF 2010 World Cup, comes as TAP Portugal raises its sport tourism links in the build up to the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics, which will both be held in Brazil.

The UK Marketing Manager of TAP Portugal, Graham Irwin, said that they will need to be diligent in selecting the right projects for their flight operation commitments, given that the airline flies to eight out of the ten football host cities in Brazil. These are very exciting times for TAP Portugal, and they hope that it will enhance their passenger numbers. He went on to say that, ever since the World Travel Awards, several commercial opportunities have presented themselves to the company.

Due to the fact that the next Football World Cup Finals in 2014 and the 2016 Summer Olympics will be held in Brazil, there is likely to be lots of interest from travel trade and corporate companies in TAP Portugal’s flights and services to Brazil. As of right now, however, TAP Portugal is still riding on the great wave of popularity that was given to them after they were voted the World’s Leading Airline to South America as the World Travel Awards Grand Final in London just last month.
