At World Travel Market London, everyone belongs. We cultivate a culture of inclusion at all our events, where the very things that make each of us unique are celebrated. Our exhibitors, attendees, partners and event colleagues are people from a wide variety of backgrounds, who make our shows stronger and our collective experience richer.
Inclusion & Accessibility
Travel and tourism have long been a topic which unites. World Travel Market is home to the world’s travel trade and is serious about ensuring everyone feels welcomed.
WTM is committed to assisting those who have specific requirements. For specific access requirements at the Venue, please contact [email protected] or reach out to our dedicated customer service team.
During the event, please stop by our Information Desks along the main boulevard for an accessibility assistance.
At WTM this year, you’ll find the following facilities to support your event experience:
Reset Room
Events can be busy places, and busy places aren’t for everyone. If you want to be part of the fun, but find safety in a place of solace, visit the WTM Reset Rooms where you can get away from the crowds and take a moment. The WTM Reset Rooms are located at S3 (upper and lower rooms) and N10 (upper and lower rooms) accessed via the boulevard, as well as through the exhibition halls.
If you, or someone you’re with, requires emergency medical assistance whilst at WTM, please don’t hesitate to alert a staff member or visit the Organiser’s Office, who’ll be able to get you the help you need. Remember, you’re not in this alone!
WTM recognises the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Scheme and will support anyone coming to WTM living with non-visible disabilities. Some disabilities, conditions or chronic illnesses are not immediately obvious to others. Simply by wearing the sunflower lanyard, visitors are letting everyone know that they might need extra help, understanding, or just more time.
A limited amount of Sunflower lanyards will be available at the information desks in the boulevard, as well as in the WTM Reset Rooms.
