The World Travel Market Global Travel Report 2004 is to be presented at this year�s Forecast Forum on Monday 8 November 2004 at 10.00am.

How has the industry fared so far in 2004? What are the predictions for 2005? What are to be the hot continents and destinations next year? How has the world�s economic and political climate impacted on the industry?

To be presented and chaired by well known travel journalist Jeremy Skidmore, the Forum will give the media an opportunity to question a distinguished international panel representing the industry�s major associations and influencers - WTO, ETC, PATA, US Department of Commerce and IPK - on their personal views on the report�s findings, as well as their predictions for the future .

Fiona Jeffery, World Travel Market Group Exhibition Director said: �This is the second year that we have presented a global travel report. It is most appropriate that we are able to announce the most up to date industry figures at the world�s premier international industry event. We hope the Forum will encourage many questions to our panellists and further discussion and debate.� The World Travel Market Global Travel Report will be made available at 11.00am on Monday 8 November at the end of Forecast Forum. -ends- 24 August 2004
