Industry Relevance 

WTM London has been a major presence in the travel industry for 40 years. The first-ever edition ran back in 1980 and the WTM brand has since then established global domination with shoot-outs in São Paulo, Dubai, and Cape Town. It’s this longevity and wide reaches that position the World Travel Market as the gate to the rest of the world and this is seen in all the destinations showcased from Europe to Australia, Africa, and Asia to South America. Visitors can discover the full breadth of travel options - destination travel, cruises, responsible tourism, LGBT travel, music travel, spa vacations and sports travel. There is more to discover, of course, from airlines to accommodation to the technologies rapidly entering the industry. All this at ExCeL London!
