We now know the figures for the Business Travel Show 2017held in London on 22 and 23 February. For its 23rd edition, the British business travel show brought together 437 buyers (up from 399 a year earlier) and recorded a 3% increase in visitor numbers.
" We were surprised by the success of this year's Business Travel Show, especially as we had already seen an increase in the number of visitors every year for the last four years. "says David Chapple, director of the Business Travel Show. " The increase in the number of buyers is particularly important for us, as we continue to invest in attracting the best possible range of visitors from all over Europe. (...) We have a superb team working behind the scenes to ensure that visitors to the Business Travel Show find the best content and the best people to talk to, year after year, so that they can develop travel programmes tailored to the travellers of the 21st century. "adds David Chapple.
The organisers of the London show are already looking ahead to the 2018 edition, and are revising their ambitions upwards. Next year, the Business Travel Show will occupy a larger space in the West End of London's Olympia Hall. The exhibitors - 260 in all this year, including some 60 newcomers - have also shown their confidence in the event. In fact, 70% of them have already renewed their stand rentals for the 201 edition, which will be held on the following dates 21 and 22 February coming soon.
