WELCOME TO THE 2013 PREVIEW
With World Travel Market 2013 fast approaching I welcome you to this official WTM Preview. This offers you a taste of what to expect at this year’s event.
Along with industry news and opinions, the interactive slides that follow provide an overview of our industry-leading programme, plus a sneak preview of some of the headline speakers that you can see at the event.
Exciting elements this year will include two brand-new initiatives: The Travel Tech Show at WTM and A Taste of ILTM at WTM. The Travel Tech Show at WTM is a direct result of the incredible growth in the WTM Travel Technology region, which has shown an increase of more than 70% over the past two events. A Taste of ILTM at WTM gives the exhibition floor a dedicated luxury showcase for the first time.
I am also extremely pleased to announce strong growth in our representation from North Africa, Middle East and Asia, amongst other regions. This growth has been mainly fuelled by an increase in public sector companies becoming Main Stand Holders.
This year, as part of the Ministerial Programme, WTM has partnered with the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) to bring together tourism ministers and experts from all sectors to discuss strategies for the future of our industry.
Another great source of pride at WTM is World Responsible Tourism Day, which will take place during the event and this year highlights the key areas of water, disability and responsible volunteering.
We look forward to welcoming the world to London again for four days of vibrant, colourful, exhilarating travel-oriented business at World Travel Market, the leading global event for the travel industry. The event is poised to generate more than £2 billion of business for the industry.
Enjoy this Preview, and we look forward to welcoming you to World Travel Market 2013 at ExCeL London from Monday 4 to Thursday 7 November.
