Technology, Tours & Activities (TTA) is one of the tourism industry’s fastest-growing segments. According to Phocuswright, the international travel research institute, tours and activities make up around ten per cent of the global travel market – more than rail travel, car hire and cruises combined.
The brand new Technology, Tours & Activities segment is the first of its kind in Europe and gathers the tourism industry’s most important groups at ITB Berlin who all share the same goal: promoting and selling in-destination services. Both major players and small startups will be showcasing their innovative products in this new exhibition and meeting area in the Adventure Travel Hall (4.1). The TTA marketplace is the place to head for providers of tours, tour guides, technology and apps, as well as re-sellers, intermediaries and destinations. Exhibitors and trade visitors will also be able to establish new contacts and exchange experiences at networking events in Halls 4.1 and 7.1b. Over the three days reserved for trade visitors, workshops and conference sessions in Hall 4.1 and at the eTravel World will provide first-hand information on Technology, Tours & Activities.
At the eTravel World, on the afternoon of Wednesday, 6 March 2019 all eyes will be on the TTA Forum, which features panel discussions, workshops and an extra networking event at the eTravel Lab in hall 7.1b. On Thursday, 7 March at the Business Day, the focus will be on products at the TTA marketplace in Hall 4.1. On Friday, 8 March 2019, a TTA Special for startups will take place at the Startup Day at the eTravel World in hall 6.1.
Commenting, David Ruetz, head of ITB Berlin, said: “We look forward to being the first to provide the TTA segment with a new international forum at ITB Berlin 2019 and to helping to shape the tourism industry’s third-largest market. Nowadays, simply offering customers bus and city tours is no longer enough. Being able to book tours, attractions and local activities online has become more important than ever. ITB Berlin now makes it possible to meet with all the relevant international players in a single place.“
