Australasia prepares to shine at WTM London with its largest delegation in years

One of the world's most attractive regions is arriving in force at the next edition of World Travel Market London, with a larger delegation from Australia and New Zealand than in recent years. The Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC) stand will bring together more than 30 partners and will become a key meeting point for those seeking to boost tourism to unique experiences in Oceania.

The expansion of the Australian and New Zealand presence reflects the renewed enthusiasm of buyers and visitors to reconnect with these destinations. ATEC's booth N9-510 will feature airlines, hotel chains, and tour operators, consolidating one of the strongest offerings in the region.

Featured brands include Qantas, Australia's historic flag carrier, and Singapore Airlines, the world's most awarded airline. In the accommodation segment, YHA Australia and Hotel Grand Chancellor will offer options for a variety of budgets, while unique regional experiences will include sustainable offerings such as Oceanview Eco Villas on Kangaroo Island, Barossa Shiraz Estate vineyards and The Villas – Barossa, Finniss River Lodge in the Northern Territory, and Rawnsley Park Station in the ancient Flinders Ranges of South Australia.

Luxury ground transportation will also have a prominent place with Marquee Limousines and InStyle Chauffeured Limousines Australia, designed for discerning travelers. Bill Peach Journeys will also impress with its "Aircruising" concept, which uses private planes to explore iconic Australian landscapes.

Adventure and wildlife, Oceania's hallmarks, will be represented by operators such as Earth Adventure and PureSA, specialists in outdoor experiences in South Australia; Hartley's Crocodile Adventures, renowned for its animal encounters; Kangaroo Island Touring Company, which offers private tours in wildlife-rich environments; and Untamed Escapes, with offerings that integrate adventure, gastronomy, culture, and wellness in diverse regions of the country. Sydney icons such as BridgeClimb, Sydney Harbour Boat Tours, and Taronga Zoo will also be present.

Additionally, ATEC will bring together expert inbound tour operators and DMCs to design memorable itineraries in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and beyond. These include Australia and Worldwide Travel, Advance Olympic Travel, ANZCRO, Southern World, 39 Degrees South, Travel Time South Pacific, GMTC, ANZ Global Travel, Social Nature Movement, New Zealand Fine Touring/NZ Sidekick, The Green Spot, and Terra Nova Tours.

Chris Carter-Chapman, Event Director of WTM London, said:
“We are thrilled to welcome such a strong delegation from ATEC. Australia and New Zealand are aspirational destinations renowned for their unique natural attractions, deep cultural heritage, and transformative travel experiences. I am confident that show visitors will enjoy speaking with experts who can help them create personalized itineraries for each client.”
