BEST IN SHOW

Asia’s largest travel trade fair will return to Singapore for its 12th run this October.

An annual three- day event organized by the Singaporean offshoot of leading trade fair company Messe Berlin, ITB Asia brings together hundreds of travel industry exhibitors from across the Asia- Pacific region, as well as a significant number from as far afield as Africa, Europe, and the Americas. This October 16– 18, the show will once again grace the Sands Expo & Convention Centre at Singapore’s iconic Marina Bay Sands.

A record- breaking 11,000 visitors attended last year’s affair, in which over 127 countries were represented. ITB Asia looks to build on that success in the upcoming 2019 edition with the highest number of participating National Tourism Organizations ( NTOs) in the event’s 12-year history. So far at least 19 new NTOs have signed up, including Bhutan, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Uzbekistan. Outside of Asia, European NTOs such as those from the Czech Republic, Estonia, and Serbia will also be in attendance for the first time.
