Simon Press, World Travel Market London Senior Director, said: “We have had a fantastic start.
“We had 211 buyers meeting a host of exhibitors for the speed networking session before the event opened this morning, and we have had good feedback from the exhibition floor.
“We expect there will be 1.1 million on-stand meetings this week, generating £2.5 billion in business deals.”
