All the major destinations were there, singing their own praises, but they weren’t the only ones touting their attractions. Among the exhibitors were Syria, Yemen, and Sudan, which did not mention the genocide in Darfur in its travel brochures. Even poor, war-scarred Kosovo made an appearance at a tucked-away, virtually undecorated booth. But the lack of pizzazz didn’t stop the reporters, bloggers, and camera crews from clogging the tiny space. Hysnije Salihu, marketing director of Kosova Airlines, wasn’t surprised by all the attention. “Well, of course,” she said. “We are a newborn country. Everyone is curious.”
Other convention-goers sampled Romanian wine (the Transylvanian Cabernet makes up for in bloodred color what it lacks in body), listened to lively Yemeni tunes, watched manic tribal dancers from Rwanda, had their hands henna-tattooed, and learned to play the alpenhorn.
In the end, a visitor could get a clear vision of many of the trends that will affect world travelers in the years to come. One thing’s fairly certain: Transylvanian wines will not be among the upcoming fads.
