I’m writing from London this week! I’m representing FXExpress Publications, Inc. at the annual World Travel Market conference in London, featuring booths of international and some U.S. travel partners in hospitality, tourism, airlines, car rentals and many other industries. I have had the opportunity to meet many professionals as I have explored the floor and am quite impressed with the variety and professionalism all around me.
Each culture represented is accurately depicted, and learning from each has been quite rewarding. I even had a chance to enjoy a ride on the photo ski lift with my friends from Air Canada, which I’ll be writing my next blog about. Stay tuned!
If you are a professional in the travel industry, I highly recommend a visit to WTM. It is a superb networking event and surely a worthwhile investment. If you’d like additional information regarding the event, please visit World Travel Market.
Till we chat again, cheers from London!

It’s approaching 3 o’clock in the afternoon in Bern. Jutting slightly into view at the end of the uneven stone street in the Swiss city’s historic heart stands a medieval tower adorned with the famous 15th-century “time bell,” Zytglogge. A small gathering forms at the tower’s base as the clock prepares to announce the hour — an event heralded by the crowing of a golden rooster, music and a dance of mechanical figures that include an assortment of jolly bears.
