COMMON QUESTIONS
Travel industry events: common questions
When are the major travel trade shows in 2026 and 2027?
WTM London (3–5 Nov 2026, London), ILTM (30 Nov – 3 Dec 2026, Cannes), ITB Berlin (16–18 Mar 2027, Berlin), Arabian Travel Market (3–6 May 2027, Dubai, as listed by the organiser) and Africa's Travel Indaba (last held 12–14 May 2026, Durban; next dates not yet published). Each event page carries the venue, what the show is for, the organiser's registration link where one is published, and hotels nearby.
Which travel industry events are coming up next?
The next five in the calendar: Africa Showcase Central Eastern Europe (21–25 Sep 2026, Prague), Skift Global Forum (22–24 Sep 2026, New York City), Brand USA Travel Week Europe (28 Sep – 1 Oct 2026, Amsterdam), ILTM North America (28 Sep – 1 Oct 2026, Nassau) and Africa Showcase Mitteleuropa (28 Sep – 2 Oct 2026, Utrecht).
What is the difference between a travel trade show and a travel industry conference?
At a trade show, exhibitors take a stand or a table and the days are built around meetings with buyers. At a conference the programme is the point: sessions, speakers and the conversations around them. This calendar lists 61 trade shows and 16 conferences, and the conferences and summits also have a page of their own.
Where are travel industry events held?
By region, the calendar lists 30 in Europe, 26 in the Americas, 20 in Africa, 10 in Asia Pacific and 3 in the Middle East. The countries hosting the most are United States (18), South Africa (12), United Kingdom (8) and Spain (5).
Can travel agents, tour operators and DMCs attend these events?
It depends on the show. WTM London and ITB Berlin sell trade visitor tickets, while appointment-led shows such as ILTM Cannes qualify each buyer before sending an invitation. 47 of the 89 event pages link to the organiser's own registration, exhibitor or buyer page, which is the place to check what applies to you.
What is the best app for managing trade show meetings?
RepBud is designed for it: log meetings on your phone between appointments, keep follow-ups against the right contact, and pull a report of the event from your own interaction history afterwards. It works across WTM, ITB, Indaba and the other shows in this calendar.
RepBud is designed to assist, not replace, your professional judgement
