WTM London 2025 Opens Registration with Expanded Format and New Programme Highlights
Following
the success of last year’s edition — which saw an 11% increase in qualified
buyers and more than 34,000 meetings — the 2025 show is set to be the largest
in its history.
In
alignment with the ongoing expansion of ExCeL London, this year’s event will
grow by an additional 25,000 square metres, creating more space for exhibitors,
an enriched content programme, deeper engagement opportunities, and the launch
of WTM Trend Fest. This brand-new cultural initiative will showcase immersive
global experiences through live performances, themed activations, and daily
presentations.
Early
forecasts point to record exhibitor participation, with growth across key
sectors including destinations, experiences, transport, accommodation, and
travel technology. To support this growth and enhance connectivity, WTM London
will introduce WTM TV, a dedicated channel designed to inform, inspire, and
link global audiences throughout the event.
This
year’s show also promises an elevated conference experience. All six conference
tracks will be united under a single guiding theme: "Reimagining Travel in
a Changing World", ensuring coherence and relevance across the entire
programme. With floor space and stage capacity expanding, WTM London will also
debut a series of bookable, expert-led masterclasses, offering deep dives into
key travel topics for attendees.
Among
the major confirmed sessions returning for 2025 are the Ministers Summit at WTM,
Sustainability Summit, Geo-economics Summit, Marketing Summit, the WTM Global
Travel Report, and the ITT Future You Forum.
WTM
London 2025 is poised to redefine the global travel trade experience — offering
richer content, broader reach, and deeper collaboration across all sectors of
the tourism industry.
