exhibition center, WTM regularly attracts over 40,000 trade
visitors, including 5,000 exhibitors from over 200 countries. The
U.S. Commercial Service offers U.S. suppliers the opportunity to
showcase their products through a Product Literature Center (PLC)
at our WTM booth. This catalog show will appeal to the many US
travel suppliers (for example attractions and hotels and smaller
state tourism offices and convention and visitor bureaus with no
UK represenation,) and that could not otherwise afford to fly to
the UK or pay for an individual booth at WTM. It is an extremely
cost effective way to reach the many international tour operators
who visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s booth. For further
details, please contact Stewart Gough (contact details above).
