International
WTM London (World Travel Market) is the leading travel and tourism trade show. The 2026 edition takes place from November 3 to 5 at ExCeL London.
WTM London: the global travel market
Destinations, tourism boards, hotel chains, tour operators, transport companies, and travel technologies meet here. The show is organized by RX.
The 2025 edition gathered 46,500 participants from 182 countries, including 4,112 exhibitors and 5,500 buyers, with over 40,000 pre-scheduled appointments. The next one is announced for November 3 to 5, 2027 (to be confirmed).
ExCeL London: logistics and post-Brexit formalities
ExCeL is located in the Docklands, served by the DLR and close to London City Airport. The venue features large exhibition halls and delivery docks.
The United Kingdom is outside the European Union: transporting the stand involves temporary import and customs formalities, often under an ATA carnet. For 2026, deadlines are short: planning for 2027 keeps them under control.
Tourism and destination stands: how we work
A destination or tourism player must inspire dreams while hosting buyers. We design immersive stands with large-format visuals, pre-scheduled meeting areas, and welcoming hospitality spaces. Discover our page for lifestyle, hospitality, and leisure stands, our stands for local authorities and territories, and our custom-made stands.

Tips for exhibiting at WTM London
Pre-schedule your meetings: buyers come with a busy schedule.
Tell the destination's story: visuals, local materials, and atmosphere are worth more than a brochure.
Separate hospitality and negotiation: a closed space facilitates business discussions.
Anticipate British customs: ATA carnets and packing lists must be prepared several weeks in advance.
