In Press Releases , WTM London .
World Travel Market London 2023 , the world’s most influential travel & tourism event, will reveal the latest trends shaping the industry when it releases its Global Report on the first day of the show on Monday 6th November.
The exclusive WTM Global Travel Report , compiled in association with renowned researchers at Tourism Economics , an Oxford Economics company, shows how leisure travellers’ needs and desires are changing – and shines a spotlight on emerging and growing destinations for 2024 and beyond.
Media will have exclusive access to the report and find out about the key developments highlighted at the WTM press conference and media breakfast at the International Media Centre (N1-500), from 10.00-11.00 on Monday 6th November.
There will also be a session later that day, called ‘ WTM Presents…A Global Travel Report’ which will reveal the full report in detail, followed by a panel discussion WTM Global Travel Report: The Industry Impact in association with Oxford Economics on the Elevate Stage, from 14:15-15:30.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into the shifting landscape of travel and learn about consumer demands, helping them shape their business and plan for the future.
During the panel discussion, industry figureheads from across the sector will share their thoughts about how the trends will affect their plans for marketing, sales, innovation and investment in the coming months and years.
Juliette Losardo , WTM London Exhibition Director, said:
“We’re thrilled to launch the first ever – WTM Global Travel Report – it demonstrates our commitment to ensuring the travel community have the freshest insight into trends shaping the sector and will support discussions, meetings and planning taking place during the three days at WTM.’’
“We partnered with Oxford Economics, a leader in tourism data and economics and the report presents findings from international research, using an expansive databank covering nearly 185 countries worldwide as destinations and as origin markets and all major bilateral tourism flows in terms of visits, nights and spend, as well as unique industry insights, the report gives a comprehensive outlook on tourism.”
“The worldwide outlook and vast, informative findings will give delegates invaluable insights to ensure they stay ahead in the travel sector.” The report will detail how the market has fared in 2023 and forecasts how domestic and international leisure travel will develop in 2024.
It considers the impact of challenges such as inflation and the cost-of-living squeeze – and compares the varying fortunes of different regions and markets.
The WTM Global Travel Report will delve into the drivers of demand in this post-pandemic era, examining how and why travellers are prioritising their holidays above other types of expenditure, and considering the outlook for different demographics.
The authors have also studied issues affecting the travel trade, which has had to deal with crises such as wildfires, strikes and staff shortages while the sector has rebounded.
Losardo, concluded:
“We’ve heard many a positive story over the past few months, from exhibitors and partners, regarding the success of 2023 trading, despite many headwinds. This report will back up the hearsay, with up-to-date data and expert commentary. “As we look to 2024, this report is there to help delegates build their strategies for the year ahead and beyond, armed with a deeper understanding of the forces shaping the future of our sector.”

9 Best International Aviation Museums
Take a trip through aviation history at these institutions around the world.
GuyGentry/Getty Images
The first flight of an airplane might've been in the United States, but today, aviation connects the world. After rounding up some of our favorite aviation museums in the U.S., we're turning our eyes abroad, highlighting international aviation museums to add to your travel wish list.
To compile this list, we've tapped aviation historian Shea Oakley and aviation expert Dan Bubb, a professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and former airline pilot, to share with us their personal favorites, plus considered some of our own.
"What I like the most about these museums is not only the wide variety of different types of aircraft spanning different time periods, but the rich history that accompanies them. Visitors will get to experience aviation from its infancy to being highly developed over decades," says Bubb. "Anyone who appreciates aviation and history will not be disappointed. At each of these museums, visitors must be prepared to set enough time aside because there is much to see, read, and watch."
Meet the Expert
Shea Oakley is an aviation historian and the executive director emeritus at the Aviation Hall of Fame and Museum of New Jersey.
Dan Bubb is a former airline pilot and a professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas who specializes in commercial aviation and airport history.
Imperial War Museum Duxford, Duxford, United Kingdom
Housed in one of the first Royal Air Force stations, Imperial War Museum Duxford has some 200 aircraft on display. "Duxford contains the British Airliner Collection which includes an example of just about every post-war airliner built in the U.K., from the Comet to the Concorde," says Oakley, who also praises its restoration center, which is open to the public, as well as its airshows. "I like to call it a 'living museum,'" he adds. "As much as I love our Air and Space Museum here in America, everything there is static. Duxford literally brings aviation history to life."
Museo del Aire y del Espacio, Madrid, Spain

Spain established its Air Force following the Spanish Civil War, and the Museo del Aire y del Espacio is dedicated to its legacy. Here, you'll find around 150 aircraft in indoor and outdoor exhibits, from a Fokker DR-1 to a McDonnell Douglas F-4C Phantom II, plus artifacts like uniforms, weapons, and hundreds of model planes. The museum, selected by Bubb for this list, is located on Cuatro Vientos Air Base, about 20 minutes from Madrid' s city center.

Interested in commercial airlines more than warplanes? Visit the British Airways Heritage Center at the airline's headquarters near Heathrow — it's free to visit, but you'll need to make an appointment to do so. "British Airways, like Pan Am in its day, has been one of the largest, oldest, and most significant airlines pioneering commercial aviation history," says Oakley. "The Heritage Center is chock-full of fascinating memorabilia about BA and its predecessor carriers going all the way back to 1919. Its curator, Jim Davies, is often available to give visitors a personal tour."

France has a long aviation history, much of which is chronicled at the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace , another Bubb pick. It's located just a 10-minute drive from Charles de Gaulle at the Paris–Le Bourget Airport, a historic airfield that's used primarily for business jets today. The museum was founded in 1919 and holds a collection of aircraft that includes a Concorde and a Boeing 747, as well as numerous aviation-related works of art and posters.
Technik Museum Sinsheim and Technik Museum Speyer, Germany

Though the Technik Museum Sinsheim and Technik Museum Speyer — two linked institutions located about 30 minutes apart between Frankfurt and Stuttgart — are not solely dedicated to aviation, these museums of technology do have an impressive collection of aviation artifacts. At Sinsheim, you can see both a Concorde and a Tupolev Tu-144, a Soviet commercial supersonic jet. At Speyer, you can climb through the interiors of a Boeing 747 (and walk out onto its wing) and spot a Soviet Buran space shuttle.
Canada Aviation and Space Museum, Ottawa, Canada

Located on a former military base in Ottawa, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum , one of Bubb's favorites, is the country's most extensive aviation collection, with more than 130 military and civilian aircraft and artifacts. Highlights include the World War II–era Lancaster bomber, the largest surviving pieces of an Avro Arrow (the famous Canadian-designed interceptor aircraft), and the Canadarm from the space shuttle Endeavour . The museum also offers scenic flights in helicopters, vintage biplanes, and Cessnas.

Split between locations in London and The Midlands, the Royal Air Force Museum is a testament to the air power of the U.K. from World War I to the current day. The museum has more than 160 aircraft on display, with a particularly robust collection of World War II planes (think: Supermarine Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes). There are also various thematic exhibitions; subjects range from the Battle of Britain to the Red Arrows, the RAF's aerobatic display team.
Polish Aviation Museum, Krakow, Poland

With 250 aircraft and 124 engines, the Polish Aviation Museum has one of the largest collections in Europe — and it's located at one of the oldest airports in Europe, the now-defunct Kraków-Rakowice-Czyżyny Airport, built in 1912. Though the Nazis destroyed most Polish pre-war aircraft during the occupation, the museum has the only remaining PZL P.11c Polish fighter aircraft. The museum also has a number of Soviet aircraft from the Cold War, on display in what's referred to as "MiG Alley."
Aerospace Bristol, Patchway, United Kingdom

For the final museum on our list, we're back in the U.K. — this time at Aerospace Bristol , home of the last Concorde ever to fly. The iconic supersonic aircraft is undoubtedly the highlight of the museum, but there are more than 8,000 artifacts here for you to peruse. The museum is also an archive for the Bristol Aeroplane Company (and its predecessors and successors), honoring the city's contributions to aviation. The Concorde on display here, for instance, was built in Bristol.

Is it safe to travel to Mexico? Grim details of 3 tourists killed in Baja California
Authorities have revealed that three missing surfers in Mexico were shot before their bodies were dumped in a well.
Two Australian brothers, Jake and Callum Robinson, and a friend from the United States, Jack Carter Rhode, were travelling through Baja California in Mexico when they went missing last week.
Their idyllic surf trip around Ensenada took a tragic turn after the three failed to turn up at an Airbnb, and their families didn’t hear from them.
Local authorities confirmed on Sunday that three bodies had been found, and families of the victims have since identified the remains.
Investigators claim that the surfers were likely killed after assailants tried to steal tyres from their truck. However, other theories have also swirled on social media about the nature of the killings and potential cartel involvement.
The deaths have led to an outpouring of grief from the surfing community, some of whom have called for greater safety measures to be enforced.
At a local demonstration, a woman held up a sign that read, "They only wanted to surf – we demand safe beaches”, while another read: “Ensenada is a mass grave”.
Mexico is a tourist hotspot known for its endless beaches, spectacular surf, vibrant culture and signature food.
However, the nation also has a darker undertone, having some of the highest murder rates in the world. Most violent incidents occur away from tourist destinations and in local communities. However, visitors are urged to take added care in Mexico.
Here’s what you need to know about safety in Mexico.
Is it safe to travel to Mexico?
In 2022, more than 38 million international tourists reportedly entered Mexico , and many of these trips went smoothly.
However, according to the latest FCDO advice , travel guidance is in place for many parts of Mexico, and travellers should always exercise extreme caution.
Most places where travel isn’t advised include rural and mountainous areas away from typical tourist hotspots.
This includes warnings about all but essential travel to various parts of Tijuana and parts of Chiapas, Colima, Chihuahua, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Jalisco, Michoacan, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas, and Zacatecas.

Mexico is an enormous country with many major tourist destinations, including the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico City , and Oaxaca. The Latin American country largely relies on tourism, and many Brits visit the country and have a positive experience.
However, drug-related criminal activity, kidnappings, extortions and robberies do happen, and there have been cases of tourists being caught in the crossfire of warring organised crime groups. Exercise caution, be alert, and don’t show off your valuables.
How to stay safe in Mexico
As with all overseas travel, there’s always a risk of something going wrong.
Indeed, there are higher chances of being a victim of crime in some parts of Mexico; however, you can exercise caution to mitigate the risks. Here are some tips on staying safe:
- Avoid areas where FCDO advises against travel
- Try to stay in tourist destinations, instead of isolated or remote places
- Conceal expensive belongings, and don’t show off your gadgets
- Separate your valuables and money into different spots
- Avoid being on your phone
- Be vigilant when using ATMs and look out for scammers
- Try to travel during daytime hours
- Consider learning some basic Spanish phrases in case you need help

Which worldwide cities are at risk of being UNDERWATER?
Posted: 7 May 2024 | Last updated: 7 May 2024
Are these the cities of the future?
Sea levels around the world are rising as a result of the climate crisis and even if we manage to keep global warming below 1.5°C (2.7°F), as set out in the Paris Agreement, they are set to rise by at least 10 feet (3m), according to research by non-profit Climate Central. However, if the planet's temperature increases by 3°C (5.4°F), which it’s projected to do by 2100 if we continue as we’re going at the moment, sea levels could rise by 30 feet (9m).
Click or scroll through to see Climate Central's illustration of what the world’s cities could look like in this scenario using photorealistic images.
Buckingham Palace, London, England, UK
The British royals’ official residence since 1837, Buckingham Palace in London, England would fare badly in the event of 3°C (5.4°F) of warming, due in part to its proximity to the River Thames. Its surrounding grounds would be submerged in water, as would the lower levels of the palace itself, according to imaging from Climate Central.
Brighton Pavilion, Brighton, England, UK
Bridge Street, Cambridge, England, UK
Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, Wales, UK
The Pentagon, Arlington, Virginia (near Washington DC), USA
Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp, Belgium
Lalbagh Fort, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Bangladesh is one of the most low-lying, flood-prone nations in the world and its seasonal flooding is already being worsened by the climate crisis. In fact, during the 2020 monsoon season, an enormous one-quarter of the country was underwater . Pictured here, Lalbagh Fort in the capital city, Dhaka, would be half-submerged by seawater if we stay on our current path of climate change.
Aristotelous Square, Thessaloniki, Greece
With its Neoclassical buildings and landscaped gardens, Aristotelous Square in Thessaloniki is one of the most-visited locations in Greece. But the square’s immaculate green spaces and covered walkways would be submerged in the event of 3°C (5.4°F) of warming.

Baltimore Convention Center, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Bank of China Tower, Hong Kong
Maranhao's House, São Luís, Brazil
Located on the western coast of São Luís Island, a narrow peninsula which is cut off from the Brazilian mainland by the Mosquito Strait, São Luís city is set to become covered in water as a result of a 3°C (5.4°F) global temperature rise.

Cathédrale Sainte Reparate, Nice, France
Elizabeth Quay, Perth, Australia
Piazza Dei Martiri, Naples, Italy
Rosemary Square, West Palm Beach, Florida, USA
More than 3,600 square miles (9,324sq km) of Florida are within the 100-year coastal floodplain, making it the most at-risk US state when it comes to coastal flooding. The south is set to be worst affected, with cities including West Palm Beach, Fort Myers and Miami under threat if global warming continues at the current rate.
Space Center Houston, Texas, USA
Swathes of Texas’ 3,359-mile (5,406km) coastline would be ravaged by 3°C (5.4°F) of warming, and large parts will be flooded even if warming is curtailed to 1.5°C (2.7°F). The Space Center Houston looks a sorry state in this image.
These are the world's landmarks under threat from climate change
Floralis Genérica, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Temple of Literature, Hanoi, Vietnam
Around one-fifth of Vietnam’s population lives along the Mekong Delta, making them more vulnerable to the effects of climate change-induced sea level rise. According to maps created by Climate Central, almost all of Hanoi will be devastated if temperature increases by 3°C (5.4°F), while even a 1.5°C (2.7°F) rise will badly impact huge areas of coastline.
Washington Street, Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
Sitting on the banks of the Hudson River, Hoboken, New Jersey will suffer severely when sea levels rise, as you can see from this image of a drowned-out Washington Street. In fact, even if climate change is curbed at 1.5°C (2.7°F), mapping tools suggest large areas of the New Jersey coastline will be underwater.
Read about these incredible places that will be underwater by 2050
Sydney Opera House, Sydney, Australia
Burj Khalifa, Dubai, UAE
The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world at more than 2,716.5-feet (828m) high, but its mighty size won’t stop it being ravaged by climate change. As well as consuming the lower storeys of the skyscraper, surrounding roads, green spaces and low-rise buildings would be swallowed up by rising water.
Statue of Liberty National Monument, New York City, New York, USA
Built to commemorate America's centennial anniversary of independence, the Statue of Liberty has stood over New York Bay for more than 130 years. As you can see here, however, its star-shaped base and the island on which it stands would be mostly submerged due to the climate crisis.
