Message from Tom Nutley, Chairman, RTE
Message from Fiona Jeffery, Chairman, WTM
The future of travel
Changing man’s global footprint
FORECASTERS predict that in the next
couple of decades globetrotting travellers
will be demanding holidays to even more
far-flung and remote places, increasingly
attracted to extreme, often bizarre
accommodation and buying out-of-this
world adventures that include journeys
into space.
FROM PROVIDING cost savings, making a
positive contribution to climate change to
increasing economic stability and ensuring
the long-term appeal of a destination,
responsible tourism practices simply
make good business sense.
And yet there is no doubt that the industry
could do better!
Travel and tourism is a topsy-turvy,
fast-pace, ultra competitive business and
as professionals it is our job to keep ahead
of the game.
Despite the amazing work by some, there is
still a great deal to be done. In fact, we have
hardly scratched the surface.
That’s why World Travel Market is an
important four days in the global industry
calendar.
The public and private sector of today and
the business leaders of tomorrow need to
understand the issues at stake.
Even in a super high-tech world where
technology has made travel processes
almost instantaneous, there is still a need
to meet face-to-face, to understand about
the new trends and developments and to
confront and discuss some of the difficult
and challenging issues that face the
industry today – and tomorrow.
World Travel Market has a very specific,
major global focus on all things green
this year.
In order to prosper, middle and senior management need regular, year-round businessto-business in-depth intelligence gathering,
analysis and delivery.
You need to be inspired, to learn from
others, exchange ideas.
When developing future strategy, product
development plans, resource allocation and
sector focus, it is essential to be one step in
front, embracing and understanding the
environment clearly.
Making Meetings Measure Up
A major worldwide initiative was launched
earlier this year to ensure that everyone
working within the meetings, conference and
incentive industry (now called the meetings
industry) recognises the importance of
adopting a form of Tourism Satellite
Accounting, measuring the economic global
importance of the meetings industry.
Only by understanding precisely what is the
contribution from this high yield sector, can
we hope to generate a universal improvement in its status.
On Tuesday - the eve of WTM’s World
Responsible Tourism Day – World Travel
Market is hosting the UNWTO Ministers’
Summit on Tourism and Climate Change.
Up to 300 Government Ministers, senior
aides and eminent speakers will come
together at World Travel Market to try and
agree on a Global Declaration on Tourism
and Climate Change. What ever the
outcome, it will be presented to the United
Nations Climate Change Summit in Bali in
December.
meetings industry does command the
attention that it undoubtedly deserves.
The partners, who have been working
together for more than three years, have
published a groundbreaking report
‘Measuring the Economic Importance of
the Meetings Industry. Developing a Tourism
Satellite Account Extension’.
The report recommends that the industry
adopts a form of Tourism Satellite
Accounting as a viable means of achieving
official universal industry recognition as a
major economic driver.
To this end, the partners have now
appointed a dedicated economist with
experience in statistics and economic
analysis. He will be working on a number of
selected case histories where detailed data
on the meetings industry is already known
to exist, such as Austria, Australia, Canada,
Mexico, Spain and South Africa. It will take
some time to adapt TSA, but it will certainly
be worth it.
The brave new world is here.
And we are ready to welcome it with open
arms!
Tom Nutley

Reed Travel Exhibitions
Reed Travel Exhibitions is working with the
International Congress and Convention
Association (ICCA), Meeting Professionals

Organization (UNWTO) to ensure that the

The first ever WTM World Responsible
Tourism Day on Wednesday, in association
with the UNWTO, will unite the planet and
the industry in a way that has never been
done before. The day has already won many
supporters, including PATA, the WTTC and
well known figures such as Sir Richard
Branson and environmentalist Prof. David
Bellamy.
Whether companies, organisations and
individuals are at World Travel Market or
not, we want everyone who works in and,
like me, has a passion for the international
travel and tourism industry, to stop just
talking about this crucial aspect of our
very future.
We need to plan now for a simpler, saner,
more sensible hand-over to the next
generation by taking action.
Serious, long term, committed action.
Action that transforms the lives of people
and communities; that helps to eradicate
poverty; and saves this beautiful, everchanging planet of ours from further
destruction by mankind.
Above all, we need to be able to hold up our
heads with dignity and demonstrate that
the industry recognises its responsibilities
and is working towards making a real
difference.
This is indeed the most ambitious project
that we have ever undertaken at World
Travel Market, but our aim is to catalyse
the international industry to make a real
World Travel Market is unashamedly,
unreservedly, wholeheartedly about
successful global business. What ever your

May I wish you a productive and enjoyable

contribution and demonstrate action to
consumers, by taking a lead on what is the
most fundamental issue of our time. Just
think what we can do to sustain our world
if we work together as an industry.

It is a tremendous challenge but World
Travel Market is well placed to help drive
this vision of a better kept world. For the
past 13 years, we have pioneered the
importance of environmental issues,
initially with Environmental Awareness Day
and latterly with Responsible Tourism Day.
WTM’s now World Responsible Tourism Day
is designed to inspire everyone working in
the industry, pushing the boundaries to a
new humanity.
That is why the day will reflect some of the
brilliant work that is being carried out with
the publication of a magazine called
Spotlight, provided free to all delegates and
will offer many opportunities to get to grips
with the difficult issues that remain in
responsible tourism.
The programme, including debates,
presentations, workshops and seminars as
well as a networking event at the end of
the day, tackles four key environmental
subjects: water, poverty reduction,
destinations and carbon offsetting. All
the main events will be free and located
in World Travel Market’s Conference Set,
Platinum Suite 4, Level 3.
Further more, as we all know, Climate
Change is a reality and will eventually
impact the industry.

hope will inspire you into joining this
great crusade for industry change.

What’s new at World Travel Market 2007
The Most Ambitious Universal
Day of Action for the Industry
The Awards, the biggest of its kind in the
world, are again organised by online travel
agent responsibletravel.com, in association
with The Times, World Travel Market and
Geographical Magazine – the magazine
of The Royal Geographical Society.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A YEAR with more
focus, more urgent challenges or more
competition at World Travel Market.
WTM World Responsible Tourism Day will
be held every year on the Wednesday of
World Travel Market. In 2008, WTM World
Responsible Tourism Day will fall on
Wednesday 12 November.
Because of the sheer global scale of the
event, it is inevitable that delegates will be
served up a generous helping of information,
products, contacts and choice on whatever
geographic or sector interest they desire.
But in addition to a jam-packed event
programme, this year is notably different –
with more new worldwide initiatives,
speakers, campaigns and top level meetings
than ever before.
8
It is designed to provide every World Travel
Market attendee with a vital international
business backdrop, fuelled by fresh insight,
the very latest market intelligence plus an
opportunity to confront two of the most
critical and pressing issues ever to impact
the long term future of the industry:
Climate Change and Responsible Tourism.
World Travel Market 2007 will see the first
ever WTM World Responsible Tourism Day
on Wednesday 14 November – a measure
taken by the global industry to reduce its
footprint.
This is the most ambitious initiative ever
where the aim is to take real action that
makes a difference.
The day is being organised in association
with the UNWTO and is supported by
leading organisations such as PATA and the
WTTC as well as leading industry figures
such as Sir Richard Branson and well known
international environmentalist Prof. David
Bellamy.
Too often in the past, environmental and
responsible tourism has been given no
more than “lip-service” with good talk –
but very little else.
Now the industry is beginning to heed the
demands of a growing army of consumers
who are calling for a more caring, responsible
industry. An industry that helps to save the
planet as well as improve the lives of millions.
Four key topics have been identified for the
day where experts from across the world
will be involved in discussion, debate and
advice on changing the way we do business.
The subjects are Water, Carbon Offsetting,
Destinations and Poverty Reduction.
Ensure that you also pick up your free
full colour magazine, ‘Spotlight’, on
Wednesday from the Central Boulevard.
The publication, marking the first
WTM World Responsible Tourism Day,
is designed to inspire delegates with
case histories from around the world
of excellent responsible tourism work
linked to this important initiative.
If your company or organisation has
not been involved with WTM’s World
Responsible Tourism Day this year,
‘Spotlight’ is an invaluable tool to help
you to plan and participate in 2008.
International Explorer Opens WTM
World Responsible Tourism Day
The day will be formally opened on
Wednesday at 10.30 hrs by international
environmentalist, Pen Hadow, one of the
world's most accomplished Polar explorers
and the first person to sledge alone from
Canada to the North Geographic Pole
without any re-supplies. The launch will be
held in World Travel Market’s Conference
Set, Platinum Suite 4, Level 3, venue for the
major WTM WRTD programme of events
throughout the day.
The opening will be followed by the
presentation of the Virgin Holidays
Responsible Tourism Awards. The Awards
celebrate tourism ventures that make a
positive contribution to conservation and
the economies of local communities while
minimising any negative impacts of tourism.
For more information on WTM World
Responsible Tourism Day, log onto
www.wtmwrtd.com. This gives full details
of how the industry can get fully involved
and how to apply for the WTM World
Responsible Tourism Day logo. Additionally
a hotline service has been set up to help
and advise on +44 (0)1892 535943.
Ministers will be asked to consider and
ratify a Declaration recommended by
environmental experts at the UNWTO’s
Summit on Climate Change in Davos,
Switzerland in October.
The Ministerial Declaration is to be put to
the UNWTO’s General Assembly at the end
of November and will be a major aspect of
the organisations submission to the UN’s
Bali Climate Summit in December 2007.
UNWTO Secretary General Francesco
Frangialli has called the summit “the most
important and intensive tourism industry
analysis on climate ever undertaken and a
key component of the overall global response
to an issue, which is, together with Poverty
Alleviation, the challenge of our times.”
Spa, Health and Wellness Focus
World Travel Market’s Spa, Health and
Wellness focus, now in its second year,
has a new expanded programme to help
delegates “tap into” the phenomenal
growth of spa holidays.
Ministers’ Summit
On Tuesday – the eve of WTM World
Responsible Tourism Day – World Travel
Market attendees will be able to share one
of the most important global meetings to
ensure the long term future and status of
the industry.
As part of World Travel Market’s Ministers’
Programme, now in its third year, WTM will
be hosting the UNWTO Ministers’ Summit
on Tourism and Climate Change.
The summit, expected to bring together
over 100 Government Ministers, senior
aides and environmental experts, will be
held at WTM’s Conference Set, Platinum
Suite 4 and broadcast to delegates via giant
screens in the Central Boulevard as well as
to a special Media Room in the International
Press Centre, at ExCeL London.
Research shows that the industry has grown
40% in the past three years alone. The sheer
size of the market is extraordinary. There
are now more spas in the US alone (15,699)
than there are Starbucks coffee shops in the
world (13,728)!
ultimate guru of cool – will be at World
Travel Market to help businesses make
more money from travel and tourism.
He is the guest speaker at World Travel
Market’s Captains of Industry Lunch on
Monday and will also take a free seminar
on Tuesday in North Gallery Rooms 6/7
12.30 – 13.30 hrs.
Levine claims that the travel and tourism
industry has been left behind as the agenda
has moved on, while other sectors have
been quick to embrace change.
Levine, executive director of US consultancy
the Avant-Guide Institute, working with a
plethora of top international brands,
including MasterCard, Samsonite and
Deutsche Telekom, believes the secret to
businesses making more money, in whatever
sector, is being more innovative in the way
they respond to cultural trends.
He says that as part of the most timedeprived generation in history, it’s very rare
to take a step back and look at the way
culture is heading, but by doing this the
industry will have a better chance of
engaging with your customers.
World Travel Market is featuring three
seminars on the subject and is also
encouraging spa activities by exhibitors
on their stands.
The free Spa, Health and Wellness seminar
programme includes:
I Sustaining spa credibility – avoiding
customer disillusionment.

Abu Dhabi
is WTM’s Official
Premier Partner
Abu Dhabi, capital of the Arabian Gulf
state of the United Arab Emirates, which
aims to be the world’s leading high-end
destination, is the Official Premier
Partner of World Travel Market.
In a unique two-year agreement for 2007
and 2008, World Travel Market is assisting
the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA)
to market and promote some of the most
exciting new world-class tourist attractions ever to be introduced in one city.
Visitor numbers to Abu Dhabi increased
by 40% in 2006 to reach 1.2 million.
Mr. Mubarak Al Muhairi, Director
General, ADTA said: “We have already
become the World’s Leading New
Destination, but that is just a beginning
for Abu Dhabi, much of which remains
totally undeveloped and unspoilt.
“We plan to maximise on our countless
natural attractions, such as year-round
sunshine, spectacular desert dunes, miles
of pristine sandy beaches, 200 islands,
green oases and much more.
“Major initiatives and developments will
create 25,000 additional hotel rooms by
2015, 4,000 of them within the next three
years. It means that not only will Abu
Dhabi be the world’s leading destination
but also a cultural destination of true
global stature and distinction.”
Trends Report
Euromonitor International, the world’s
leading provider of global business
intelligence on industries, countries and
consumers, has teamed up with World
Travel Market to produce the World Travel
Market Global Trends Report.
It will be presented by BBC presenter Thalia
Pellegrini at 10.00 hrs on Monday at World
Travel Market’s Conference Set, Platinum
Suite 4, Level 3.
Travel and tourism is a core area of research
at Euromonitor International and the report
will bring to the industry’s attention the
very latest trends and developments. The
report aims to assist travel companies and
organisations with planning and investment,
helping travel professionals make informed
choices about business retention and
expansion.
He continued: “That is why we are linking
up with the organisers of World Travel
Market. Abu Dhabi aspires to the very
best in everything and World Travel
Market, with its established reputation as
the world’s leading business forum for the
industry, is an appropriate partner.
“In exciting and imaginative ways over
the next two years, we want to engage
with World Travel Market’s delegates to
convey the very strong messages about
the new Abu Dhabi experience.”
Fiona Jeffery, Chairman of World Travel
Market said: “Abu Dhabi has risen so far
and so fast that it has taken the rest of
the industry by surprise. But over the next
two years every professional working
within the industry will hear a great deal
more about the magic of Abu Dhabi”.

Over the past 13 years, World Travel Market has become an
established business platform hosting debates, presentations,
seminars, workshops and networking events for responsible
tourism.
This year is no exception. In fact, with the first ever WTM World
Responsible Tourism Day supported by UNWTO on Wednesday 14
November 2007, World Travel Market is doing more than ever to act
as a catalyst for discussion and action on the hot responsible
tourism issues of the day.
We will be showcasing some of the best examples of responsible
tourism initiatives to illustrate how the industry is working
together to highlight the importance of protecting environments,
respecting local cultures, benefiting local communities, conserving
natural resources and minimising pollution.
We have brought together an expert group of panellists from
tourist offices, travel associations, hotels, academia and explorers
to share their knowledge and experiences and discuss and debate
some of the hot issues.
All events take place in the WTM Conference Set, Platinum Suite 4,
Level 3 and are free of charge. Seats will be allocated on a first
come first served basis.

Making a difference together
WTM has four realistic objectives for this annual day of action and
we are looking for the industry to work together to:
I help drive change by educating the travel and tourism industry
and travelling public about more responsible tourism behaviour
I explore the key issues of how countries and destinations are
made more sustainable including case studies of best practices

ExCeL London
London Eastside/Tower Hamlets
WTM in the heart of London
We’re delighted to welcome World Travel
Market 2007 to ExCeL London and London
Eastside.
Since opening in November 2000, ExCeL
London has enjoyed exceptional success,
hosting over 2000 events and welcoming
over 4 million visitors, from 200 different
countries, worldwide.
During your visit why not take the time to
explore the area? Europe’s fastest-growing
business district, Canary Wharf, continues
to thrive and develop, whilst older, more
historic areas such as trendy Spitalfields and
Brick Lane – both within easy reach of ExCeL
London - retain their unique character.
Following a host of prestigious accolades
over the years, in 2006, ExCeL London was
named ‘Business Venue of the Year’ at the
Visit London Awards and picked up the
award for ‘Best Live Events Venue’ at the
Event Awards. The award for ‘Best Venue
Support’ followed at the 2007 Exhibition
News Awards. This recognition led to ExCeL
London being nominated as a Business
Superbrand in 2007.
The venue is home to 8 of London’s top 10
trade events, including World Travel Market,
and 2 of the UK’s largest consumer shows,
as well as hosting events for a number of
blue-chip corporate clients, government
organisations and associations.
20
In 2012 ExCeL London will play an
important role in the Olympic Games,
hosting a total of 6 Olympic sports and
5 Paralympic events.
In the last 12-months, The O2 (formally the
Millennium Dome) has re-opened, on the
doorstep of ExCeL London.
AEG Europe has partnered with O2 to
create the UK’s most technically advanced
music, sport and entertainment destination.
At its centre is The O2 arena, with a capacity
of up to 23,000, which will host 150 worldclass events in the first year, with acts
already confirmed including Take That, The
Rolling Stones, Prince, Justin Timberlake,
Scissor Sisters, Bon Jovi, Snow Patrol, Elton
John and Barbara Streisand.
Within the facility, there is also a smaller
music club (indigO2) with a capacity of
2,200, an 11-screen cinema, an ice rink and
an entertainment district featuring more
than 20 bars, restaurants, retail and leisure
facilities.
Other local area developments include a
new Radisson Edwardian hotel, which
opened in September this year, providing
169 4-star deluxe rooms. Based at New
Providence Wharf the hotel provides easy
access to ExCeL London, Canary Wharf and
London City Airport.
What to see?
This part of London is home to the famous
Tower of London, guardian of the Crown
Jewels. Other attractions include the
Museum in Docklands, telling the 2000year story of east London’s ports and rivers,
and a plethora of independent art galleries
including the world-renowned Whitechapel
Art Gallery which houses some of today’s
most stunning, contemporary art.
Restaurants, bars and nightlife
London City Airport also continues to
expand with new routes now available to
Belfast, Geneva, Madrid, Milan, Nice, Zurich,
Oslo, Rome, Hamburg, Nuremburg,
Stuttgart, Dublin and Glasgow.
Visitors travelling from Heathrow and

the campus.
We hope you enjoy your visit to ExCeL
London and World Travel Market. If you
would like additional information on the
venue and the developments taking
place in the local area please visit
www.excel-london.co.uk
The area will host the Olympic Games and
Paralympic Games in 2012, and is at the
heart of major regeneration programmes
that will see new homes, jobs, transportation
services, and community and sporting
facilities created. For business and leisure
visitors alike, the choice of hotel accommodation is wide and still expanding – options
range from quality value chains to 4 and 5
star groups offering executive facilities and
exclusive suites and apartments. There are
over 7,000 hotel rooms in the area, the latest
addition being the Radisson Edwardian
hotel with 169 rooms.
East London’s amenities have multiplied
over the past 10 years, turning it into the
leading destination for dining, entertaining
and partying, with one of the largest
selections of restaurants and bars in
London. From signature restaurants such
as Plateau, Ubon by Nobu, Wapping Food
and Gordon Ramsay’s gastro pub ‘The
Narrow’, waterside bars and eateries at
21
West India Quay and Canary Riverside, to
Brick Lane, known as ‘the curry capital of
the world’, you can try a different cuisine
every night. Brick Lane and Shoreditch
offer night owls some of London’s trendiest
nightspots. Music lovers can catch some of
the world’s leading artists and bands at the
O2 Arena, the former Millennium Dome,
which opened in summer 2007.
Shopping
Canary Wharf offers many high street and
designer shops in a bright sophisticated
mall setting. East London is also home to
many independent creative shops including
designer clothes, lifestyle, interior and gift
stores at the cutting edge of fashion and
innovation, and colourful markets such as
Spitalfields, Petticoat Lane and Columbia
Road, all located within 20 minutes of
ExCeL London.
Getting around
You can travel round East London easily by
just about any means of transport. Motorway
links are excellent, and there are numerous
connections on the underground tubes
and Docklands Light Railway. The DLR links
ExCeL London to London City Airport,
Canary Wharf, Bank and the City. At Canary
Wharf, the DLR connects with the Jubilee
Line, running into London’s West End in
just 20 minutes. You can also travel using
London’s most exciting means of transport
– high-speed clippers offering a commuter
service on the river, with connections from

Wharf, and runs regular direct flights to 36
European cities including all major capitals.

International Peace Through Tourism 2007
The International Institute for Peace through Tourism (IIPT) debate
“Building Bridges of Understanding Between Civilizations, Cultures
and Religions: Does Tourism Have a Role?” will take place from:
16.00 – 16.30, Monday 12 November in the WTM Conference Set,
Platinum Suite 4, Level 3.
Humanity is currently witnessing - and shaping the most
significant paradigm shift in human history – a shift of major
demographic, economic, ecological and geo-political dimensions.
The world population will increase by three billion people in the
first 30 years of the 3rd millennium to 9 billion. Ninety percent of
this growth will be in developing countries where the world’s least
developed countries are sliding deeper into poverty. A robust global
economy combined with unprecedented population growth is
resulting in an ecological footprint that is over 23% larger than
what the earth can regenerate in a given year. This is leading to
global climate change, species extinction, insecure energy supplies,
water shortages, crop failures and depleted fisheries.
To meet the challenges presented by these and other global issues,
both world leaders and humanity as a whole must work together in
a spirit of solidarity and collaboration. Industry leaders will debate
the role of tourism in ‘Building Bridges of Understanding’ as a prerequisite foundation for this human journey into the 3rd Millennium.

What is Just a Drop?
Just a Drop are also finalising other projects in Sudan,
Zimbabwe, Bolivia, Uganda, Phillipines and Chile.
Over 4 million children die every year from water borne diseases such as cholera,
dysentery and diarrhoea caused by either the lack of access to fresh water or
polluted water. Polluted water is the biggest killer of children under the age of 5
in the world.
For although we can survive a month without food, we can only survive 3 days
without water. It is the very essence of our being.
Working with respected organisations such as the Scientific Exploration Society,
Excellent Development, Kids for Kids and Hospital Kafue, the Trustees of Just a
Drop consider proposals from a wide diversity of organisations from around the
world every year. Each potential project is checked in its country of origin and every
aspect carefully scrutinised, prior to money being committed. The completion of a
project receiving money from Just a Drop is also carefully monitored.

MAKE THE MOST
OF YOUR SHOW
This year's WTM catalogue is again published by Pedigree Media.The official show catalogue is a key tool
for all exhibition owners as well as participants and show visitors. It serves as the definitive reference
source for all involved, both during and after the event.
If you are an exhibition owner or organiser and feel that your next catalogue could benefit from Pedigree's
vast publishing and sales experience in the travel sector, then get in touch with us now.
We are already working with the biggest names in the business but we still have room for one or two more.
