World Travel Market (WTM) London will host its 20th Ministers’ Summit on November 4, bringing together around 50 tourism ministers and global industry leaders, organisers said.
The Summit sits on day two of WTM London, which runs at ExCeL London from November 3 to 5 under the theme Resilience, rebound & reinvention: the next era of global travel. The 2025 show drew 46,500 attendees from 182 countries, putting ministers’ priorities on resilience and sustainable investment in front of buyers, destination boards and operators, who can also attend the session.
The discussion runs from 10:30 to 12:30 in George V Room 1, Maritime Suites, ExCeL London ICC. WTM London, powered by RX, organises it in association with UN Tourism and the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC). UK Tourism Minister Stephanie Peacock MP will join representatives from UN Tourism, WTTC and WTM London to open it.
“This milestone provides an important opportunity to reflect on two decades of global tourism leadership,” said Chris Carter-Chapman, Event Director of WTM London.
This year’s session is titled Strengthening Tourism for a Resilient and Regenerative Future. It follows the 2025 discussion on more inclusive investment in tourism and will examine how governments and industry can strengthen resilience and encourage sustainable investment. Young people entering the sector and entrepreneurs will also contribute.
A lunch for ministers, UN Tourism delegates and members of the Association of National Tourist Offices and Representatives (ANTOR) will follow, sponsored by ANTOR as it marks its 75th anniversary.
