World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo (WTCE), which will place at the Hamburg Messe from 28-30 May 2024, has shared details of its 2024 Wellbeing Walk-Through, exclusively dedicated to passenger wellbeing.
Aimed at ensuring that visitors gain a well-rounded understanding of passenger wellbeing and mental health as well as insight into some of the most exciting and innovative products available, the walk-through will feature a diverse range of food and drink companies who are disrupting the markets with their latest nutritional offerings to improve the way people feel while travelling.
