Change of venue for Business Travel Show and TTE - TravelMole


Change of venue for Business Travel Show and TTE

Tuesday, 27 Feb, 2020 0

Literally within minutes of the TravelMole team remarking on how easy and civilised it was at London Olympia this week, we received notification that the Business Travel Show and Travel Technology Europe will be relocating to ExCeL next year.

The organisers, Northstar Travel Group, were apparently attracted by the ‘accessibility and flexibility of space’ at ExCel, the much bigger venue in London Docklands that already hosts World Travel Market.

The relocation, they hope, will attract more European buyers and improve the customer experience for both visitors and exhibitors.

"The move to ExCeL London will allow us to be more creative with our visitor and exhibitor propositions. Larger, more flexible space and sponsorship options will let our exhibitors realise their commercial visions and ambitions," said Northstar Travel Group UK managing director David Chapple.

"It also means we can redraw the floorplan to improve traffic flow, visitor navigation, bring Travel Technology Europe onto the same level and introduce a larger crossover, keynote theatre with a significantly increased capacity."

Apparently, the organisers were also attracted by the ‘out-of-hours social scene’.

The Moles are yet to be convinced about the move but we’ll all find out next year, when the dates have been confirmed as 24-25 February.
