Simon Press, Director, Reed Travel Exhibitions said,
“I am delighted India has decided to increase its stand space to create a dedicated region for WTM 2012. It has continued to increase its exhibition space at World Travel Market over the past three years, which is a clear demonstration of the unrivaled business opportunities WTM offers all its exhibitors. I’m confident the creation of the India Pavilion will see WTM 2012 generate a greater amount of business for the country.” The creation of the India Pavilion follows on from an incredibly successful WTM 2011 for which will see GBP 56 million of deals generated, according to independent research from Fusion Communications, either through deals signed at the event or in the following 12 months before WTM 2012. WTM 2011 saw India Tourism expand its stand space by 16 per cent compared to WTM 2010, which was a massive 28 per cent more than at WTM 2009. Goa Tourism and Tamilnadu Tourism become Main Stand Holders for the first time, while increased support from the private sector saw Travel Inn, Travel Services International, Trail Blazer Tours , and Quadlabs from the travel agency sector and Samatheeram Ayurvedic Group and Charlot Beach Resorts form the hotel sector exhibit for the first time.
