World G7 Summit potentially a boost for Cornwall Airport Newquay

The general consensus is that major global conferences, be they government or private sector ones, are good for the cities and regions in which they are held, although examples exist where attendant riots have painted a picture that the general public might find distasteful and worrying.

One of the biggest such events is the annual G7 (Group of Seven) summit of the leading nations by wealth and economic power. In 2021 it takes place in the far west of England, in an area which increasingly thrives on tourism but which for a year has thrived on not much at all, with the local airport closed and the main tourist attraction with it.

Potentially, decisions could be made at the summit that will lead the world out of the pandemic nightmare faster and more efficiently.

Elected political representatives around the world will be keeping a close watch on events and trying to figure out what indicators arise, in terms of how they could benefit their region and supporting airports by way of similar meetings.
