World Travel Market has entered a new business
era - the 21st Century telecommunications age - and
we cannot allow our industry to be left
behind. Already in its
history, World Travel Market has made one move from
Olympia to Earls Court. Now is the time to make
another one, with ExCeL providing the vehicle for
the next phase of growth and development.
Comments on the new venue
“ExCeL provides World
Travel Market with the opportunity to meet the
changing demands of its customers in the 21st
century. It is fitting that WTM makes its home in
the premier London Exhibition venue that has been
purpose built and is destined to exceed all
expectations of customers and visitors alike.
”
Chris Gilbey, Director
Passenger Distribution Policy, IATA
“ExCeL is the largest
and most sophisticated venue in London and the
first totally integrated technology and
communications infastructure in Europe.”
Lord Oxfuird, President
of the Advisory Council.
“BITOA welcomes the
decision to relocate World Travel Market to ExCeL.
The move ill undoubtedly benefit exhibitors and
overseas buyers. This exciting new venue, in
London's fastest growing commercial region, means
that, for the first time, we are able to showcase
Britain's tourism industry in a state-of-the-art
facility.”
Richard Tobias
BITOA Chief Executive
“The facilities at
ExCeL are state of the art and it is important the
travel industry is seen to be taking advantage of
these and not living in the past. This will provide
WTM with an opportunity to redefine itself and
establish London as the leading venue for the
industry.”
Ian Reynolds, Chief
Executive, ABTA
“ExCeL is set to be a
superb place to do business and is a showcase for
contemporary Britain, alongside the traditional
appeals of London. Moving World Travel Market
there will allow the show to expand, which presents
excellent opportunities to attract new buyers
from overseas.”
