London World Travel Market

Well it's been a busy week this week here at 'Astral Towers' (as we like to call the office) for everyone. Besides dealing with our normal work load of processing bookings and arranging private tours and transport for clients - all of us had also had at least one day out of the office at the World Travel Market which was taking place a the ExCel Centre Docklands this week. The World Travel Market is one of the worlds largest travel trade shows in the world - most countries in the world are represented and send out thier top sales people add to this - major attractions and the other 'big names' such as airlines and hotel chains are also pitching products and services and you really do have a huge show. One the first couple days of the show the buyers from industry turn up to negotiate rates for services for the following season so there is a lot of stress involved during the day and hence a lot of parties in the evening.

We normally use the the WTM as a place to touch base with our current suppliers and also see some of our overseas agents who are in town. It's also a good place to take new memebers of staff - they get to see another aspect of the travel trade and experience the buzz that goes with big business.

Well must get back to work - i'm sure you'll hear more from the rest of the office crew about the show next week.

Take care

Michael
