WORLD TRAVEL MARKET has quickly released figures which show that an increase in attendance of 5% over last year”s record breaking show to almost 49,000.
Excel certainly had a buzz about it and the use of the main thoroughfare as part of the show proper made for a much better visitor experience. Improvements are still needed for attendees who register late and who might be able to self-print passes, with plastic holders available at the door. Getting in can still be a problem. The rise in the number of overseas trade visitors was 11% and more than a 100 Government Tourism Ministers, Ambassadors and High Commissioners also attended. Earls Court is very quickly being forgotten, as was the original site at Olympia.
