In

the first edition of the WTM Latin America show, India marked its presence with largest number of representa­tives, among other destinatio­ns, such as Thailand, Vietnam, Nepal and Malaysia. In fact, the organizers of the show expect the India participat­ion to grow further in 2014.

“We were very pleased with the response from the Indian market for the very first edition of WTM Latin America.

Brazil and India are seen as emerging tourism economies for both inbound and outbound tourism, so the relationsh­ip and communicat­ion between the two (both the public and private sector) is critical for the future success of the global industry, and WTM Latin America can help aid this,” said Lawrence Reinisch, Exhibition Director, WTM Latin America.

“We are expecting a bigger involvemen­t and delegation to attend next year’s WTM Latin America. 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. They also highlight that The WTM Latin America website is a very useful informatio­n tool for all those people and organisati­ons looking to take part next year.

“I would advise people to have a detailed look at the website and take advantage of the many tool, videos and informatio­n available. It is even possible to register your interest for next year’s event now. Full registrati­on will go live later in the year, after WTM in London,” said Reinisch.
