The airline plans to leverage the event to establish new partnerships and enhance existing collaborations with local and regional travel partners, aiming to bolster connectivity for travelers across major European travel hubs.

ITB Berlin and IPK International: a big global increase in outbound travel in 2023 In 2023, outbound travel registered double-digit growth year-on-year, marking another big step in returning to the travel volume of 2019. Compared with 2022, this was a 33 per cent increase, only 12 per cent short of the base year level before the pandemic. Positive signs are above all the gradual return of outbound travellers in Asia and the upward trend in vacation travel.

The figures for the 44th edition show the industry’s weight over the past year, making FITUR the world’s leading trade fair in terms of the number of participants and visitors.
