Global European Marketplace 2024 Reviews

Thank you for sharing your feedback about GEM 2024. We are thrilled to hear that so many of you found the event well-organised, giving you the opportunity to meet with established partners and network with new ones. We appreciate the positive comments about our choice of venue and catering and of course, it’s encouraging to hear that our matchmaking process has been so productive and beneficial.

We understand the frustrations around no-shows, unproductive meetings, and occasional mismatches that some of you have pinpointed and we are committed to continual improvement.  We will work on refining the meeting booking system so that the day is filled with relevant and successful appointments and will ensure that we allow for more seating options during breaks.  We have also noted your comments about event timing – particularly regarding GEM in relation to WTM – and we are working on logistics and plans that make GEM25 even better, whilst building on GEM24’s successes.

Thank you once again for your participation and valuable insights. We look forward to welcoming you to GEM 2025.

Too many group tour operators
Overall the quality of the buyer attending GEM was high and good but there was an high predominance of operators specialised in Group Travel and we would prefer to meet more B2B attraction operator and FIT tour operators.

Thank you for this, Your ideas and feedback is very much appreciated and we will continue to endeavour to secure more FIT operators in future.

Gem works!
I love how this event is organized and managed. It gives you just enough time to make an impression and to meet with new potential partners.

I liked the meetings and people. Missing tables and chairs in the foyer was really really bad. And also that when this was seen nobody did something about it.

Thank you for your suggestion. We are working on securing more seating in the foyer for GEM25, so that members can network and chat between appointments.

Great networking
I really enjoyed the event. I thought that the seminar the day prior was really informative and fun and the 121 appointments were well organised.
