With over 1,838 exhibitors and more than 1,300 top-tier industry buyers, ITB Asia 2023 served as a platform for over 35,000 business appointments, fostering long-term cooperations in the global travel industry.

Super Early Bird trade visitor rates are available until 3 September 2023.

ITB Asia, ‘Asia’s Leading Travel Trade Show,’ is back and on track for a physical event in October and shines light on new collaboration with Singapore Association of Convention & Exhibition Organisers & Suppliers (SACEOS), the national trade association for meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions and events in Singapore.
