Registration Open for WTM Events in Latin America, Africa and Middle East

Three leading travel industry exhibitions in the World Travel Market portfolio of events are expected to set new records in April for visitor numbers and trade deals. Registration is now open for the trio of events: World Travel Market Latin America, World Travel Market Africa and Arabian Travel Market.

The events expect to attract more delegates and facilitate more business deals than ever before, following on from the success of World Travel Market London 2016 which saw a record £2.8 billion in deals agreed amongst a joint-high 51,500 delegates.

The WTM portfolio of events facilitates more than $7 billion in industry contracts.

Looking forward to its fifth edition is WTM Latin America (April 4-6), which will feature more than 700 exhibiting companies. It takes place in São Paulo, Brazil, and incorporates the Braztoa Business Event. WTM Latin America generates more than US$370 million in new business in 2016 and will host more than 6,500 tourism professionals. For information, press here.
