WTM invites industry buyers to apply for Meridian Club Membership
World Travel Market (WTM), the leading global event for the travel industry, is inviting the industry’s most senior buyers to apply for Meridian Club membership for WTM 2011.
Meridian Club – the leading global business network: making contacts, concluding deals - is WTM’s exclusive business club for the travel industry’s most senior buyers with direct responsibility for purchasing.
An example of Meridian Club member would be a buyer for a tour operator looking to purchase product from exhibitors to put in its brochures, or an IT director looking to purchase a technology for its organisation.
WTM 2010 saw more than 8,500 Meridian Club members attend the event helping the show to generate a record £1,425 million in industry deals.
Membership is open to the entire travel industry with a strict selection process in place to ensure that only the most senior industry buyers are granted membership. To apply, buyers should visit www.wtmlondon.com.
