Whether it’s your first time participating or whether you’ve been a regular since Asia’s premiere industry event first launched in 2008, there are a number of reasons why attraction, tour and activity operators should attend.
Participate in Asia-Pacific's largest travel industry event
Now in its eleventh consecutive year, ITB Asia remains the largest travel trade show in the region. The annual three-day event is organised by Messe Berlin (Singapore), and supported by the Singapore Tourism Board and the Singapore Exhibition Convention Bureau. It gathers hundreds of Asia-Pacific’s leading travel companies and small-to-medium-sized enterprises, as well as international buyers covering the leisure, MICE, and corporate travel markets.
Last year, the show recorded its highest ever exhibitor rebookings and continues to receive regular support from Asian markets, and attracting new interest from destinations such as Greece, Turkey, Mongolia, Finland, Norway, and Iceland.
Meet existing and new potential partners
Participating in a trade show always results in the opportunity to broaden your network, forging stronger relationships with your current business contacts and creating new opportunities with potential partners. In fact, 32.4 percent of the show’s previous attendees consider networking as the main objective of their visit.
