The Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC) Australia and New Zealand stand (N9-510), incorporating more than 30 partners, will be a one-stop shop for those interested in boosting tourism across an array of Antipodean experiences.

WTM London said the larger Australasian delegation than usual reflected a renewed “momentum and enthusiasm for the region”. “Buyers and visitors have expressed strong interest in reconnecting with Australia and New Zealand, prompting WTM and ATEC to support an expanded presence,” show organisers said.

The ATEC stand will feature a diverse mix of airlines, accommodation providers, and tour operators.

Shubhra Halliday, UK sales director for Anzcro (a specialist DMC and tour operator to the Australia and New Zealand), said: “Being on the ATEC stand at WTM for the first time gives us access to a number of potential new business opportunities. It allows us to present our portfolio including nett pricing to the trade, including international tour operators, as well as provide our services of fully-inclusive tours to UK-based independent travel agents. We are excited to have a presence at one of the most exciting travel shows in the world, here in the UK.”

Peter Shelley, managing director of ATEC said: “WTM London is the perfect place to nurture valuable connections in our core source markets. With the buzz around the 2025/6 Ashes series from this November, it’s also a key time to harness interest in travel Down Under.”

And Tamsin Wendt, director and host of Oceanview Eco Villas, said: “We are excited to be attending WTM for our first time, looking to reconnect with buyers and agents, build new connections, and showcase the best of Kangaroo Island, Australia, a region offered referred to as Australia's Galapagos. We are a family-run business with a focus on personalised, curated experiences, showcasing native wildlife in their natural habitat.”

Chris Carter-Chapman, WTM London’s event director, added: “We are delighted to be welcoming such a strong delegation from ATEC this year. Australia and New Zealand are among the world’s most well-loved and aspirational destinations, known for their unique and natural attractions, deep cultural heritage and experiential travel opportunities. I’m positive show visitors will relish the opportunity to speak to varied destination experts in one place to help them build personalised itineraries for every client.”
