Camden will be flying high at World Travel Market

6 Jul 2006

Camden Exhibition Services has strengthened its relationship with leading business-to-business exhibition World Travel Market by being contracted to supply its largest-ever amount of furniture and equipment to the event.

The company has been appointed official supplier to the exhibition, which brings together tens of thousands of representatives of the global travel trade industry for a four-day gathering at London’s ExCeL.

The contract means that Camden – a division of leading supplier Thorns Group – will be providing equipment across the exhibition site, in areas that include organisers’ offices, VIP facilities, directors’ and chairman’s lounges, dining facilities, seminar theatres and the exclusive Meridian Club. Camden has also been receiving requests to supply additional furniture to individual exhibitors taking part in the gathering.

Adam Aston, Camden Exhibition Services’ Head of Exhibitions, said: “We’ve established an excellent working relationship with World Travel Market over recent years so are thrilled to have been appointed official supplier to the 2006 gathering. This year will see Camden supplying more furniture and equipment to the event than ever before, with our services being called upon for a growing number of areas within ExCeL.”

Items of furniture to be supplied by Camden Exhibition Services include office and lounge ranges, boardroom tables and glass tables.
World Travel Market, which takes place between November 6 and 9, is expected to attract around 50,000 people to ExCeL. Exhibitors and visitors will represent a broad range of sectors including airports, financial services, event management, railways, travel organisers, ticketing agencies, tour operators and golf-related services. More than 200 countries were represented at last year’s exhibition.

The event, which is organised by Reed Travel Exhibitions, is staged annually in London. It has established itself as a unique opportunity for the global travel trade industry to meet, network, negotiate and conduct business.
The 2006 exhibition will include a broad range of attractions including a WiseUp! Day, which focuses on training and education opportunities, a ‘Responsible Tourism Day’ and a Meetings Conference and Incentive Travel Focus.

The Meridian Club – one of the many areas supplied by Camden – is a business club operated by Reed Travel Exhibitions. Annual membership of the club is awarded to senior buyers from across the travel industry.
