Largest hosted buyer programme for the corporate travel industry delivered more quality buyers, more business opportunities and more value for exhibitors.
The Business Travel Show - Europe’s largest dedicated event for business travel professionals - ran the world’s largest Hosted Buyer Programme for corporate travel buyers.
The quantity of buyers being hosted in 2012 was high but so too was the quality: only corporate travel buyers and managers who fit our criteria were invited to join the programme. Exhibitors had the opportunity to meet and do business with the best of the travel buying community from throughout the UK and Europe.
Taking place on the 5th & 6th February 2013 at Earls Court, the Business Travel Show delivers an unrivalled opportunity to develop new business.
"It is the best selection of buyers you could ever hope to meet. One of the most important dates on the business travel diary."
Simon Mclean, Click Travel
"The Business Travel Show is one of the most important events in the business travel
calendar. The footfall this year to the stand has been high and the quality of
visitors fantastic. The Hosted Buyer Programme has brought us 54 meetings over
two days, which is testament to its success."
Paul Wait, Virgin Atlantic Airlines
“Once again, this
year’s Business Travel Show has proved to be a valuable event for American
Express Global Business Travel and Meetings & Events, allowing us to meet so
many of our key partners, suppliers, customers and, indeed, potential clients.
We can’t wait for an even bigger and better show in 2013.”
Anthony Drury, American Express Global Business Travel
"FCm
hasn't exhibited at the Business Travel Show since 2009. It's good to be back.
The Hosted Buyer Programme was very successful for us. All of our pre-booked
appointments happened and buyers committed to the meetings. The appointments
have also been of a high quality as buyers have tenders coming up within the
next two to three months. This is particularly good for FCm as these bids will
feed into our sales pipeline for the next two quarters. We have also seen a lot
more overseas buyers this year, which is great news for us as our current focus
is to grow multi-national business."
Alex
Armstrong, FCm Travel Solutions
“This event is substantially bigger and
better than any we’ve exhibited at before. It’s much busier and with a
significantly higher calibre of buyer. We’ve had a packed schedule of meetings
with buyers and they’ve all turned up, which is practically unheard of. We’ve
met major agents and key decision makers from public sector and the construction
industry, both sectors which are really important to us.”
Neil Rudolph, Travelodge
“The
Business Travel Show is our one big event prior to launching our new route and
it has been very good and very busy. The Hosted Buyer Programme is great because
the buyers have chosen to meet us. We’ve had really interesting conversations
with good quality buyers, every single one of whom showed up.”
Paul Fallows, Hong Kong Airlines:
“This
year’s Business Travel Show has been much busier and the Hosted Buyer Programme
has really helped to bring the right buyers to our stand. By having meetings
pre-arranged it means we can ensure the right Concur people are available to
meet them.”

Marsh, Concur
