While the whole world is on lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, WTM Portfolio has launched a new online portal, WTM Global Hub, to connect and support travel industry professionals around the world.

The resource hub will go live today, 23rd April, 2020, offering the latest guidance and knowledge to help exhibitors, buyers and others in the travel industry face the challenges of the global coronavirus pandemic.

WTM Portfolio – the parent brand for WTM London, WTM Latin America, Arabian Travel Market, WTM Africa, Travel Forward and other key travel trade events – is tapping into its global network of experts to create content for the hub.

The platform will be regularly updated to deal with the evolving demands of the pandemic and to share ideas about preparing for recovery.

One of the highlights at the launch will be a webinar from Oxford Economics, which is a leader in global forecasting and quantitative analysis.

During the webinar, Oxford Economics will focus on the effects that Covid-19 is having on the travel and tourism industries around the globe. Attendees will be able to ask questions.

Content on the hub will also be translated into Spanish and Portuguese, as WTM Latin America will provide materials in those languages.

The hub will feature seven sections including Virtual Events, Podcasts, On-Demand, Blogs, Responsible Tourism, Travel Technology, and Your Travel Community.
