WTM Global Hub

London Travel Week is back for 2021

Taking place from Friday 29th October to Friday 5th November 2021,

London Travel Week will be returning to play a pivotal role in the reconnection of the travel industry

London Travel Week will bring together industry events that will celebrate the future of travel and provide attendees with the first chance to meet face-to-face.

Over the seven days surrounding WTM London 2021, there will be a series of industry events taking place all over London, combining to form this global travel-hub of events.

The event aims to accelerate business growth through its unique combination of networking, knowledge sessions and sponsored, bespoke events and business opportunities.

One of the main highlights of London Travel Week will be a travel awards ceremony held at Kensington Palace on November 2 by Wanderlust – the leading consumer travel magazine.

Elliot Wellsteed-Crook, Chief Operating Officer at Wanderlust, said:

“We are really excited to support WTM London and London Travel Week. The Wanderlust Travel Awards will be a fantastic moment to bring together, and celebrate, the world’s foremost travel industry leaders in a prestigious setting.

“As the UK’s longest running travel magazine, Wanderlust has been at the forefront of sustainable travel for the past 28-years. After a turbulent time for travel, through the awards we hope to show our gratitude and support to the individuals and organisations who represent the sort of awe-inspiring, responsible travel, our readers prize.

“We are immensely privileged to run the awards at Kensington Palace, which opens only to a select number of events each year.

The ceremony will host the Wanderlust Reader Awards, the Wanderlust World Guide Awards and the Wanderlust Travel Awards.

London Travel Week Event Director, Simon Press, said;

“London Travel Week 2021 will be a pivotal part of the recovery in our industry. The week is all about learning, networking and experiencing the best of global travel and tourism and this year will be no different.

“We want every visitor to come away from the event knowing how to accelerate their business through knowledge they have picked up from our sessions and through contacts that they have made through our events. It truly will be a celebration and will mark the start of the resurgence of global travel post-COVID-19.”

“Every single event will ensure the highest standards of health and safety are met according to UK Government guidelines providing the industry with a one of a kind, safe environment to meet in and fuel the business deals that will power the future of travel.”
