From the bustling streets of New York to the Land of the Rising Sun in under 5 minutes. No I am not Superman, I am just a fascinated visitor to the World Travel Market.
Staged annually in London, the World Travel Market is a hot spot for anyone associated with the travel industry or a travel enthusiast like me.
Launched in 1980, the travel market has grown in popularity as the years have passed, with over 24,000 people landing up at the ExCeL arena in London for the 4 day fair.
For those who belong to the industry the fair is a fantastic place to hobnob with their peers and make some valuable contacts.
However, for a general visitor like me, the travel market is a one stop shop for deciding the best destination for your next vacation, as well as soaking in some culture from around the World without even getting on a plane.
I spent my afternoon sampling some fine Caribbean rum while chomping on the word famous Belgian chocolates.
But most importantly I spent my time meeting delegates from all around the world who were present to promote their countries as a potential winter get away.
Overall the fair was a experience I am glad I had, even though it involved me traveling all the way across London, and I would definitely advise you catch it when it returns next year.
