World Travel Market 2017 Industry Report
1. Industry Optimism
The international travel industry looks set for further growth around the world in 2018. Much of this growth will be fuelled by business deals sealed as a result of WTM London, which will host more than 51,500 senior travel industry professionals this week at ExCeL London (6-8 November).
The WTM London 2017 Industry Report found that three-quarters (74%) of the travel delegates asked expect the industry to grow, with 56% hoping for ‘slight growth’ and 18% expecting signi cant growth.
Q. To what extent do you expect the tourism industry to grow or decline in 2018?
(Industry Survey)
Out of the 1,622 responses, only 1% of the extremely optimistic audience predicted a decline and 14% predicted the trade would remain steady in 2018.
