Travel Catering Event Comes to Hamburg

It is the world’s largest business event dedicated to travel catering, passenger comfort and on-board retail, with nearly 200 global exhibitors showcasing new products.

Aimed at enhancing the overall experience of travellers from economy class through to VIP, the exhibition floor will include producers of gourmet food and drink and provide an opportunity to network and develop new working relationships.

The expo includes the Taste of Travel Theatre, designed to enhance visitors’ experience and understanding of the travel catering industry, as well as providing an opportunity for catering experts to demonstrate, explain and explore some of the industry’s latest trends.

John Hyde, event director for WTCE, said of last year’s show, “We have been delighted by the enthusiastic response and support received from both visitors and exhibitors at the first WTCE Expo. This year’s exhibition floor clearly demonstrated the impressive amount of innovation currently taking place on the travel catering and onboard services scene and we look forward to having more dynamic, enthusiastic and creative insight into the industry in April.”

New exhibitors include Petrossian, which supplies a range of artisan products including caviar, speciality teas and pate, and A l’Olivier, an oil specialist that produces a range of dressings made especially for onboard services.

The exhibition takes place in Hamburg from 9th – 11th April. For more information, visit www.worldtravelcateringexpo.com.
