A new era for WTM London
from WTM Yearbook 2023
by GT Media ME
Welcome to a new era for World Travel Market London – the world's most influential travel and tourism event. More than a place to meet and do business; it's a place to carve out the bigger, bolder, brighter future we all want.
It's a place for people who refuse to go back to the status quo. A trusted home, designed to help you to make plans, fix issues, diversify your networks, and make life-changing, business-building relationships.
Earlier this year, WTM launched the Power to Change campaign, designed to inspire the tourism community to use its influence –because travel has the power to change the world, and we have the power to change travel.
World Travel Market is serious about its commitment to environmental and social governance, and this can be seen through event and industry initiatives, such as the Responsible Tourism programming and the launch of the Diversity & Inclusion Summit in 2023.
The conference programme at World Travel Market is unmissable this year with more than 75 sessions and eight conference tracks covering a full suite of critical learnings and support for the year ahead.
The Ministers' Summit at World
Travel Market in association with UNWTO and WTTC will take place on Monday November 6.
Now in its 17th year, the summit is the world's most significant annual gathering of tourism ministers –and a real opportunity to witness debate and policy that will elicit that change.
Also being unveiled on Monday 6 is the WTM Global Travel Report, produced in association with Oxford Economics, that will table the changing needs of travellers, highlight emerging and growing destinations, and also uncover behaviours for 2024 and beyond.
In 2023, we welcome more exhibitors than ever before from far flung destinations and private sector companies. It’s incredibly special to bring everyone together and watch the magic unravel.
We’re confident that WTM 2023 will deliver the value that industry stakeholders need.
Finally, I would like to take a moment to thank our Premier Partner, Morocco, for working alongside us this year, for bringing the Kingdom of Light to World Travel Market –and for supporting us in providing an unforgettable three days in travel.
