WTM opens on-line shop
World Travel Market has teamed up with VisitBritain to launch an online shop to help delegates make the most of their stay in London.
The shop – www.wtmlondon.com/ukshop – sells UK exhibitors’ products such as travel services and tickets to tourist attractions.
For example, World Travel Market delegates can buy London Transport Oyster cards, airport transfers and train tickets from London’s four main airports – Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton.
They can also buy tickets to historic buildings such as Hampton Court Palace, Tower of London, Kensington Palace and St Paul’s Cathedral.
The UK’s leading sports stadiums are also selling their tours including Twickenham rugby stadium, the Wimbledon All England Club and Wembley football stadium.
Tours of Premiership football clubs, such as Manchester United and Chelsea FC, are also available.
Sightseeing excursions that can be purchased include tours of London, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
World Travel Market UK & Ireland regional account manager Lucie Winter said: “The e-shop offers a convenient outlet for UK exhibitors to promote their products to visitors who are looking to add a leisure aspect to their World Travel Market business trip.”
