SHANGHAI: ITB China, the highly anticipated marketplace for China’s travel industry,
has reached full capacity of exhibition space reserved for the upcoming event,
organiser, Messe Berlin (Shanghai), said.
The event will return for live show from September 12 to 14.
With an impressive line-up of exhibitors representing all travel trade segments, the
three-day B2B show promises to reconnect global travel suppliers with the resurgent
Chinese market. The international participation and strong demand from industry
players provide a positive outlook for the show, said the organisers.
Under this year’s slogan “Crossing Barriers • Connecting Markets”, ITB China will play
a pivotal role in reconnecting global travel suppliers with the resurgent Chinese market,
by offering abundant business opportunities through face-to-face meetings onsite and

from Europe (24%), Asia (28%), Americas (15%), Middle East (16%), Oceania (10%),
and Africa (7%), underlining the global nature of the event, and our role in driving the
