With just over a month to go, the Business Travel Show is now 95 per cent sold out.

More than 230 suppliers will showcase the very latest business travel products and services at the event, 70 of which are first-time exhibitors.

Pre-registered visitor and press numbers are also up significantly on last year, and education sessions are selling well.

The Business Travel Show, which takes place between February 13-15 at Earls Court 2 in London, is Europe's leading event for people who buy or book company travel, business trips and meetings.

The show is designed to help buyers make their travel, trips and meetings budgets work both harder and smarter.

The list of new exhibitors** features companies from every area of the business travel market, such as airlines, air travel and train operators, car rental and chauffeur drive companies, hotels and serviced accommodation suppliers, associations and technology and Internet providers.

"We're very excited by the number of new companies exhibiting at this year's show," commented event director David Chapple.

"Visitors have told us they principally come to the Business Travel Show because the industry changes so fast and they need to know what is new, whether that's new products, new services, new companies, new technology or new ways of thinking.
