Regional zones at WTM London
Scheduled to be held from November 5-7 at ExCel London, WTM London 2018 would have dedicated Regional Inspirational Zones for debate, research and analysis of each region’s tourism industry.
The World Travel Market (WTM), London is all set to welcome travel industry stakeholders from around the world to ExCel London, offering a plethora of meeting and networking opportunities. The WTM London United Kingdom and Ireland Region play host to almost 58,000 on-stand meetings from 16,500 industry professionals interested in the region. In 2017, the prestigious show recorded a good number of buyers and sellers. WTM London 2017 hosted 935,129 on-stand meetings and generated over £3.1 billion in industry deals. In 2018, WTM London will introduce Regional Inspiration Zones, set to be the centre point of the regions. In fact, these zones will act as an idea hotbed for debate, research and analysis of each region’s tourism industry. Content sessions, networking events and festivals will be hosted at these Regional Inspiration Zones.
Simon Press, WTM London, Senior Director, said, “WTM London is effectively eight shows under one roof. WTM attracts 50,000 delegates from 182 countries and regions generating £3.1 billion in industry deals. The UK is witnessing an increase in overseas visitor numbers continually, with almost 40 million visits in 2017 – up by 6 per cent in 2016. I am delighted that WTM London plays its part in helping the UK travel industry to grow.” Another highlight of the event is the WTM London speed networking programme introducing global travel suppliers with travel buyers in a series of quick face-to-face meetings. The programme sees selected quality buyers and digital world gather under one roof.
