Tom Nutley
Chairman, Reed Travel Exhibitions

Tom Nutley took over the reins of World Travel Market in 1984 during which time the event has grown annually, both in terms of size and structure, to become the major worldwide industry event it is today.

Since 1992, Tom has been responsible for the development of travel events worldwide, resulting in the launch of five events, Arabian Travel Market, C.I.S. Travel Market, International Golf Travel Market, Mediterranean Travel Fair and the 2004 launch of LACIME (Latin America, Caribbean Incentive & Meetings Exhibition).

Reed Travel Exhibitions also handles the management contracts for British Travel Trade Fair, AIME (AsiaPacific Incentives & Meetings Expo) and the ICCA Exhibition which runs alongside the annual ICCA Congress.

Reed acquired Europe's most successful incentive and meeting event, EIBTM in early 1997, and additionally acquired Top Resa (Deauville, France). The acquisition of La Cumbre; and the recent acquisition of International Luxury Travel Market bring the number of Reed Travel Exhibitions' events to 13.

Tom's role of developing worldwide travel events was recognised by his promotion (February 2003) to Chairman, Reed Travel Exhibitions to reflect the seniority of his role within Reed. His commitment to the travel industry is demonstrated by his involvement in travel related associations worldwide including WTTC, ETTFA, PATA, Guild of Travel & Tourism, Institute of Travel & Tourism, ICCA, SITE, MPI and CTO.
