World Travel Market London (WTM London) will welcome its largest Australasian presence in years when Australia and New Zealand bring a major tourism delegation to the 2025 event, taking place from 4–6 November at ExCeL London.

The Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC) stand will feature more than 30 partners, offering a one-stop shop for airlines, accommodation providers, tour operators, and destination experts from across Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and the South Pacific.

Major travel brands on the stand will include Qantas, Singapore Airlines, YHA Australia, and Hotel Grand Chancellor in both Australia and New Zealand. Boutique and regional stays will also be showcased, from Oceanview Eco Villas on Kangaroo Island to vineyard-based Barossa Shiraz Estate, Finniss River Lodge in the Northern Territory, and Rawnsley Park Station in the Flinders Ranges.

Adventure and wildlife tourism will be a focal point, with operators such as Earth Adventure, PureSA, Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures, Kangaroo Island Touring Company, and Untamed Escapes promoting experiences ranging from soft adventure to private wildlife tours. Iconic Sydney attractions BridgeClimb, Sydney Harbour Boat Tours, and Taronga Zoo will also be represented.

Premium ground transport and luxury itineraries will be highlighted by Marquee Limousines, InStyle Chauffeured Limousines, and Bill Peach Journeys, which offers “Aircruising” by private aircraft to remote Australian regions.

ATEC’s network of inbound tour operators and DMCs — including ANZCRO, Southern World, Travel Time South Pacific, New Zealand Fine Touring/NZ Sidekick, and others — will be on hand to help travel buyers design bespoke itineraries across Australasia.

Chris Carter-Chapman, WTM London’s Event Director, said the strong Australasian line-up reflects the destinations’ enduring appeal: “Australia and New Zealand are among the world’s most aspirational destinations, known for unique natural attractions, cultural heritage and experiential travel. Visitors to WTM London will be able to connect with a wide range of experts in one place.”

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