         The World Travel Market in London, one of the
    world’s most influential annual travel trade shows, attracted
    43,727 attendees this year, an increase of 22% on the 35,826 who
    attended in 2022.

    The three-day event at London’s ExCel took place
    6-8 November and hosted 4,560 qualified buyers, facilitated 29,077
    pre-booked meetings and welcomed 1,976 representatives of the
    world’s media – up by 31% on 2022.

    The number of exhibitors rose by 23% year-on-year,
    up to 3,875, and the event was 5.3% larger than the pre-pandemic
    show in 2019.

    “We’re thrilled to see delegate numbers rise by
    more than a fifth on last year. It is a really encouraging
    reflection of the confidence and optimism in travel and tourism.
    The challenges we all face were debated at many sessions but,
    despite these issues, there was a very positive mood among
    visitors and exhibitors,” said Juliette Losardo, WTM London
    Exhibition Director. “The figures confirm that WTM London is the
    best place for executives in our sector to network, find out about
    the latest trends and seal deals that will help travel and tourism
    flourish in 2024 and beyond.”

    Next year’s WTM London will take place from
    Tuesday, 5 November to Thursday 7 November 2024.
