World Travel Market (WTM)
World Travel Market is the leading global event for the travel industry. It is the must-attend four-day business-to-business exhibition for the worldwide travel and tourism industry. This year marks its 35th year and generate more than £2.2 billion of travel and industry contracts. It it held at the Excel London every November. The event attracts 50,000 senior travel industry professionals, government and international press. The event is the best place to network, negotiate and discover the latest industry opinion and trends. This is a Business to Business (B2B) event where as the TNT travel market is Business to Customer (B2C).
Educational benefits:
Travel shows offer educational opportunities for student that are interested in the Tourism industry. Students can attend these events and learn from experienced professionals. Students already studying a degree in Tourism can apply and also get the chance to extend their knowledge from these programmes.
At WTM they offer student programmes where they offer the ITT Future You conference which features career advice into the industry, ITT Tutor Networking, The Travel Tech session where students can learn about the impacts of social media, mobile, blogging and technology and on how it benefits to destinations and business in the industry. WTM offer a programme on World Responsible Tourism Day, this stimulates, educates and inspires the industry to embrace a year- round responsible tourism. I think it is a great opportunity for students to attend and learn first hand.
