World Travel Market is just a week away and it can be a daunting task making the most out of your time.  Travel Bloggers Unite have utilised our relationships with PR agencies in the UK to provide the following list of great blogger friendly events during WTM. 

They are well worth attending and ultimately, we have listed them because they want to meet you travel bloggers.

Visit Florida "Coast to Coaster" Tweetup

In conjunction with Travel Bloggers Unite, Visit Florida are holding a tweetup for travel bloggers at their stand(NA300) on Tues 8th November, between 12:00 - 14:45.  They are very enthusiastic about working with travel bloggers and so they are dedicating almost 3 hours, JUST for you guys!

This is a great chance to network with the various tourist boards and get yourself known.  After all, in 2012 if there are any additional opportunities, then the old adage may prevail, "It isn't what you know, it is who you know!".
