With a week to go until the event launches on Monday 7 November, the improvement on last year is likely to increase further.
The Travel and Online Technology (TOT) region is been a key focus for WTM 2011. This year the exhibition floorspace devoted to the region is more than 40% larger than last year.
Significantly, around two-thirds of pre-registered visitors interested in Technology said they were interested in buying technology from exhibitors. This represents a 90% increase on WTM 2010, suggesting TOT exhibitors will be conducting a large amount of business this year. Overall WTM 2010 generated a massive £1,425 million in industry deals – a 25% increase on 2009’s £1,139 million.
World Travel Market TOT Sales Manager Jo Marshall said: “The interest in this year’s Technology and Online Travel region from pre-registered visitors and potential buyers strengthens WTM’s position as the leading global event for doing business. WTM 2011 really does mean technology!” New exhibitors include Triometric, e-GDS, Ixaris Systems, Spa Travel, FACT-Finder Travel, TravelSim and Thermeon Worldwide.
