WTM 2007 Is Bigger Than Ever

World Travel Market 2007 is nearly 2 percent larger compared to last year, welcoming 5,402 exhibitors from more than 200 represented regions and countries. There are four new countries which are exhibiting for the first time or returning after a long absence: Bosnia and Herzegovina, San Marino, Gibraltar and the Yemen.

There have also been nearly 9,500 appointment requests using World Travel Market’s Personal Event Planner or PEP for short. Introduced two years ago, the PEP has proven to be a real help to visitors planning their visit more effectively. It matches delegates own business interests and preferences with exhibitors and their products.

Fiona Jeffery, Chairman of World Travel Market said that although she was delighted that the event had broken all records in terms of size, the most important factor was bringing nearly 50,000 senior industry delegates together under one roof to conduct business, network, identify new markets and learn about new global trends and developments.
