What is ITB?
ITB is one of the largest travel shows in the world and continues to be a very strong show for the RMI states, based on both the participation and the number of business contacts generated last year. Private sector participants in the booth are able to book business on site and create a high profile.
ITB attracts a large number of tour operators and media from throughout Germany and Europe.
