ABTA at World Travel Market: Supporting members and shaping the industry

We’re looking forward to welcoming members, Partners and colleagues from across the global travel industry to World Travel Market (WTM), at ExCeL London from 3-5 November 2026. WTM remains one of the most important events in the travel calendar. It provides a valuable opportunity to meet industry partners, exchange insights, and discuss the issues affecting our sector.

Once again, ABTA will be hosting the ABTA Lounge at SG15, which will serve as a hub for members and Partners throughout the event. Members of the ABTA team will be available across all three days to discuss our latest work, share updates on key industry issues and hear directly from members about the opportunities and challenges facing their businesses.

The travel industry continues to navigate a range of developments, from regulatory and policy changes to evolving consumer expectations and ongoing destination-related issues.

WTM provides an important opportunity for ABTA to engage with destination representatives and other key stakeholders from around the world. These conversations help us raise issues affecting members and UK travellers, whilst further strengthening relationships with  destinations that are important to our industry and customers.

Throughout the event we’ll also be hosting several sessions from the ABTA Lounge. Further details are available here. These sessions will provide practical insights, expert updates and the opportunity to engage with ABTA specialists and colleagues.

If you’re attending WTM, I encourage you to stop by the lounge and speak to the team. We always value the opportunity to hear directly from members, understand the issues affecting your businesses, and discuss how ABTA can continue to support you.

I look forward to seeing many of you there.

Mark Tanzer, Chief Executive
