Juliette Losardo, Exhibition Director, World Travel Market, said: “The World Travel Market’s Conference Programme is unrivalled and provides high quality education and inspiration, ensuring attendees walk away with meaningful insights and tangible learnings for the year ahead.

“To ensure WTM continues to inspire, it’s crucial content is kept fresh and suitable for incoming generations, and, of course, that we seek input from diverse viewpoints. The World Travel Market advisory teams have been integral to conference development, and we value their contributions greatly. Our new Advisory Team aligns to our inclusivity commitments, and ensures we offer a stage to emerging talent and an opportunity for lesser-known voices to be heard. The 2024 panel is perfectly placed to support us in delivering the high calibre education programme we’re committed to, and we’re delighted to welcome them as we work to produce what I know will be an exciting and enlightening few days in November.”

WTM London stands as the premier global forum for travel and tourism, offering profound insights into the industry’s overarching trends and the dynamics that drive them.
