Introduction

ITB China is the premier B2B travel trade fair for the Chinese travel market, organized by Messe Berlin, the founder of ITB Berlin -- the world's leading travel trade show. Since its launch in 2017, ITB China has established itself as the most important annual gathering for international tourism professionals looking to access China's massive outbound and inbound travel market. The 2027 edition will take place on May 25-27 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center.

Each edition attracts over 500 exhibitors from more than 60 countries, including national tourism boards, hotels and resorts, airlines, destination management companies (DMCs), online travel agencies (OTAs), and travel technology providers. ITB China's hosted buyer program brings together over 350 carefully selected senior buyers from China's top travel agencies, corporate travel departments, and MICE planning companies. Beyond the exhibition floor, the concurrent ITB China Conference delivers insights from industry leaders on topics including sustainable tourism, digital transformation, the Chinese outbound travel recovery, and MICE trends.
