ITB Asia 2020 moves virtual
Messe Berlin (Singapore) announced today that ITB Asia, MICE Show Asia and Travel Tech Asia will go virtual from 21 – 23 October 2020.
Originally scheduled on the same dates, the annual travel trade show will instead be held on a virtual platform, due to the uncertainty over continued global travel restrictions and safe distancing measures.
The virtual event will be hosted on a newly developed platform, also known as the ITB
Community. ITB Community is set to launch on 12 August 2020.
In addition to hosting this year’s edition of ITB Asia, MICE Show Asia and the inaugural Travel Tech Asia, ITB Community will also facilitate a year-long virtual engagement programme for key
stakeholders which will allow them to continue forging new partnerships and strengthen
existing business relationships with important players in the region.
Ms Katrina Leung, Managing Director, Messe Berlin (Singapore) said, “We
undertake a huge responsibility as Asia’s leading travel trade show to adapt and serve the
travel trade community in recovery. Taking into consideration the need for businesses to
connect, it is imperative for us to unite the community to enable business meetings to take
place for a seamless knowledge exchange. ITB Community will be the latest permanent
addition to a wide variety of offerings we have for our customers to tap into for their
business success.”
The three-day virtual event for ITB Asia, MICE Show Asia and Travel Tech Asia will
incorporate key features such as business matching between buyers and sellers, top notch
conference sessions, virtual exhibition and more, creating a marketplace for the travel
industry.
