Former Top Model Shone as the Ambassadress of the Balearic Islands

Amid great expectations, former top runway girl Claudia Schiffer added some glamour to the recently concluded World Travel Market in London, drawing looks and turning necks to the Balearic Islands´ stand.

With a broad smile, Mrs. Schiffer went to WTM 2005 as the ambassadress of the Spanish archipelago in an effort to promote the Majorca Golf Classic Tournament scheduled to take place next year in that Spanish enclave.

Balearic authorities are determined to sell Majorca as a world-class travel destination and a major getaway for golf enthusiasts. That sport brought around 87,000 travelers to the islands in 2004 and churned out over $160 million worth of profits for the local economy.
