Middle East has eight new exhibitors at WTM 2013

International airlines, emerging destinations and niche technology providers are among the 225 new exhibitors confirmed for World Travel Market 2013, the leading global event for the industry.

Nearly one-quarter of the new businesses in attendance this year can be found within the inaugural Travel Tech Show at WTM, which has derived from the phenomenal success of the travel technology region at previous WTMs.

While Europe is the next most popular region for new exhibitors, followed by the Americas. The Middle East is responsible for a further eight new exhibitors, including organisations promoting tourism to Yemen, Palestine and Iraq.

Reed Travel Exhibitions, senior director, World Travel Market, Simon Press said: "I am delighted to see 225 new exhibitors for WTM13, and I’m also pleased by the geographical spread of these businesses, and the sectors in which they operate. It proves that WTM is a truly global event covering all aspects of the travel and tourism industry.”

Almost 48,000 senior travel industry professionals, government ministers and international press, will embark on London's ExCeL from November 4-7 to network, negotiate and discover the latest industry opinion and trends at WTM.
