WTM London 2025, returning to the iconic Excel London from 4-6 November, is now open for registration. This year’s event promises an even larger, more engaging experience with new features, including the WTM Trend Fest cultural program and the introduction of WTM TV. World Travel Market (WTM) London, one of the leading global travel trade events, is preparing for a record-breaking edition in 2025. Set to take place at London’s renowned Excel from November 4 to 6, WTM London is now officially open for registration, with organizers expecting it to be the largest in the event’s history. Following the immense success of the 2024 edition, which saw an 11% increase in qualified buyers and over 34,000 meetings, WTM London 2025 is poised to exceed expectations in terms of both scale and engagement. Building on the expansion of Excel London, the 2025 event will increase its footprint by an additional 25,000 m². This growth will allow for more space, enhanced content, and a broader variety of experiences for exhibitors, buyers, and attendees alike. One of the most exciting new additions this year is the debut of WTM Trend Fest—a dynamic, cultural programme that will spotlight immersive global experiences. The program will feature live performances, themed activations, and daily presentations, creating a unique and interactive experience for all participants. Record-Breaking Growth and New Exhibitor Opportunities Early indicators for WTM London 2025 suggest a surge in exhibitor participation, with new and returning exhibitors from a range of industries, including destinations, experiences, transport, accommodation, and tech solutions. As the event expands, the exhibitor experience is set to be even more elevated, with the introduction of WTM TV—an official television channel dedicated to educating, engaging, and connecting audiences throughout the event. WTM TV will provide exclusive content, interviews, and updates, ensuring that attendees stay informed on the latest trends and developments within the travel industry. The continued growth in exhibitor numbers also reflects the global demand for innovation and collaboration in the travel sector. This year, WTM London is expected to host a wide variety of exhibitors showcasing new products, services, and destinations, creating numerous opportunities for business networking and partnerships. Educational and Entertainment Enhancements WTM London is renowned for its high-level educational programming, and in 2025, the event will further build on this legacy with the introduction of a unified theme across all six of its conference tracks: ‘Reimagining Travel in a Changing World.’ This theme will ensure that all conference sessions align with the current and future challenges facing the travel and tourism industry. The event’s conference programme will feature renowned sessions such as the Ministers Summit, Sustainability Summit, Geo-economics Summit, Marketing Summit, WTM Global Travel Report, and the ITT Future You Forum. These highly anticipated sessions, which were a great success at previous editions, will return to the stage in 2025, providing in-depth insights into the most pressing topics in travel, from sustainability to the evolving geopolitical landscape. Adding even more value to the event’s educational offerings, WTM London will introduce bookable, fee-based masterclasses hosted by industry experts and exhibitors. These masterclasses will provide hands-on, specialized learning experiences on key topics such as marketing, sustainability, and technology in travel. The introduction of these new sessions reflects WTM London’s commitment to providing attendees with opportunities to expand their knowledge and skills in a rapidly evolving industry. Increasing Conference Session Attendance The continued rise in conference session attendance is one of the most notable trends at WTM London. In 2024, conference session attendance rose by 29%, and this upward trend is expected to continue in 2025. The event’s expanded stage and floor capacity will allow for even more attendees to participate in the various conference tracks, ensuring that WTM London remains a central hub for thought leadership in the travel and tourism industry. As the travel landscape continues to evolve, WTM London serves as a vital platform for discussing the key issues shaping the future of the sector. The addition of new content, speakers, and experiences will make 2025’s event even more indispensable for professionals across all sectors of the travel industry. Networking and Business Opportunities In addition to the educational programme, WTM London remains a premier destination for business networking. The event’s vast exhibitor floor, combined with its range of dedicated meeting spaces and lounges, offers ample opportunities for attendees to connect with key players in the travel and tourism sector. With over 34,000 meetings taking place during the 2024 event, WTM London is one of the most successful trade shows for driving business partnerships, collaborations, and sales. The show’s expansion will further enhance these opportunities, allowing for more exhibitors and attendees to interact, collaborate, and form meaningful business relationships. As the industry looks to recover and grow following the disruptions of recent years, WTM London is uniquely positioned to foster the connections and discussions that will drive the future of travel. A Sustainable Future for Travel As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, WTM London will continue to emphasize eco-friendly practices throughout the event. From its conference programme to its exhibition floor, the event will focus on promoting sustainable travel solutions, highlighting innovations in eco-tourism, and supporting initiatives that help mitigate the environmental impact of travel. Sustainability will be a central theme at many of the conference sessions, including the Sustainability Summit and the WTM Global Travel Report, where industry leaders will share insights on how the sector can transition to a more sustainable future. The focus on sustainability aligns with WTM London’s broader goal of encouraging the travel industry to take bold steps toward a greener, more responsible future.
