Welcome to the World of Exhibitions

There is no doubt that exhibitions are an extremely powerful sales and marketing tool for the travel industry, whether they are exhibitions aimed at the international travel trade itself or those targeted at members of the travel-buying public. Relationships are built, contracts are signed and business gets done. We at the International Tourism Trade Fairs Association, ITTFA, aim to make the travel exhibition business as productive and professional as possible.

The International Tourism Trade Fairs Association, ITTFA, was originally set up in 1992 and brings together some of the worlds best tourism exhibitions. Along with its Secretariat in London it meets three times a year to seek new ways to encourage increased participation in travel shows and provide help and encouragement to travel organisations new to exhibitions.

In this dynamic and ever challenging environment, travel trade fairs provide the backbone to the industry and a place in which we can all meet and exchange knowledge and aspirations that will help our industry grow stronger and become even more valuable. Our comprehensive site is designed to provide easy access to information regarding all our member shows, as well as links to each member home page and details of our media partnerships. My colleagues and I hope that you will find our website useful and we look forward to seeing you at one of our ITTFA member fairs in the near future.
