WTM London 2023 to Showcase a 20% Increase in Size Compared to the Previous Year

World Travel Market London 2023, a top global travel and tourism event, has signed deals with more than 14% new exhibitors, spanning from renowned companies to specialized brands.

The forthcoming exhibition anticipates hosting approximately 4,000 exhibitors at the ExCeL London from November 6th to 8th, marking a substantial expansion.

Among the debutants for this year are prominent entities such as Eurostar, the London-based live concert sensation ABBA Voyage, and the Bermuda Tourism Authority. Additionally, WTM London will witness the inaugural participation of tourism boards representing Sabah, advocating travel to Northern Borneo in Malaysia, and Almaty, the largest metropolis in Kazakhstan.

Joining this diverse lineup of new Asian exhibitors are Ayana Hospitality, renowned for its opulent resorts and hotels in Indonesia, and Vietnam's Thien Minh Group.

Further enriching the event's diversity, Trip.com Group is joining the roster with an aim to target growth within the European market. In the meantime, HolidayBest, a UK-based specialist in package holidays, will introduce its expansive array of global destinations and vacation styles.

Jamari Douglas, VP Marketing & Communications of the Bermuda Tourism Authority, expressed the organization's enthusiasm:

“We are beyond excited to be returning to WTM London 2023, bigger and better than ever before.”

“As the market-leading international travel event, there is no better opportunity for us to showcase our special island and we look forward to sharing our latest news and offerings with the trade, alongside fresh perspectives from the organisation’s first ever female CEO, Tracy Berkeley."

“Our presence at WTM reaffirms our commitment to strengthening Bermuda’s presence in the UK market, demonstrated by our ongoing investments, such as our recent House of Bermuda event and brand new Lost Yet Found Campaign.”

“The UK is our third largest market after the US and Canada and we’re extremely confident that Bermuda will take its place on the global stage as a leading tourism destination.”
The Eurostar Group, a result of the merger between Eurostar and European operator Thalys last year, is poised to exhibit its services along with novel branding and livery at WTM. Paul Brindley, Eurostar's B2B & Indirect Sales Director, expressed their enthusiasm:

“We are excited to be at WTM in 2023 with our new brand for Eurostar, a vision for growth and providing high-speed rail connectivity throughout Northern Europe to 30 million passengers by 2030!”

“It’s an exciting time for sustainable rail travel and, with our new distribution tools, we are looking forward to meeting existing and new partners from around the world and continuing to build strong ethical partnerships.”

Juliette Losardo, the Exhibition Director of World Travel Market London, voiced her excitement:

“We are delighted to welcome new exhibitors to this year’s event, ranging from major destinations and well-established international brands to niche operators and hi-tech firms.

“They’ve all seen how they can play their part at the world’s most influential travel and tourism event.

“Buyers attending WTM London can meet new and established clients, seal business deals and be inspired with fresh ideas for 2024 onwards.”
