The very affable Simon Calder, Travel Editor at The Independent and TV vacation pundit, is a key speaker at World Travel Market London 2022 where he will try to look into the future regarding the holiday market.

Willie Whitehorn, Richard Branson’s right-hand man in the PR area for Virgin Atlantic in the early days of Virgin Atlantic, is another speaker bound to attract major interest during the show. From 2007 to 2011 he was President of Virgin's space programme Virgin Galactic.  Since January 2022 he has sat on the UK government’s Space Exploration Advisory Committee.
 
Juliette Losardo, Exhibition Director of World Travel Market London, said the event was “honoured that a trailblazer such as Will is joining us”.
 
“For so long, space tourism has been a futuristic dream and it is now becoming a reality – albeit just for a handful of travellers; but of course, air travel was once seen in a similar light", she said.
 
“It’s important that we embrace new opportunities for leisure like this, to drive an improved future for travel. This is particularly thought-provoking as we emerge from a period which forced us to re-evaluate what we know as normal".
