The feedback we have had from all exhibitors, including those from India, is that it was a great event that has helped about their organisation taking a stand. So I expect the next edition of WTM Latin America will be much bigger them achieve their objectives of signing as many business deals as possible. Many exhibitors have approached me and my team saying the success of the first edition means they want to increase their exposure and stand space. Furthermore, many visitors have approached me than the first, and the Indian delegation will play a vital role in achieving this,” he added.
At the moment, the Reed Travel Exhibitions is conducting thorough research of visitors and exhibitors, as to shape the event and the delegate expe- rience next year.
