Exhibition director of World Travel Market, Juliette Losardo, said: “The World Travel Market’s Conference Program is unrivalled and provides high quality education and inspiration, ensuring attendees walk away with meaningful insights and tangible learnings for the year ahead.
“To ensure WTM continues to inspire, its crucial content is kept fresh and suitable for incoming generations, and, of course, that we seek input from diverse viewpoints. The World Travel Market advisory teams have been integral to conference development, and we value their contributions greatly.
“Our new Advisory Team aligns to our inclusivity commitments, and ensures we offer a stage to emerging talent and an opportunity for lesser-known voices to be heard. The 2024 panel is perfectly placed to support us in delivering the high calibre education program we’re committed to, and we’re delighted to welcome them as we work to produce what I know will be an exciting and enlightening few days in November.”
