ITB China 2023 aims to reconnect global travel suppliers with China’s surging outbound tourism under the theme “Crossing Barriers, Connecting Markets.
The stage is set for ITB China to be once again an exceptional gathering of global industry leaders, top travel destinations and industry expertise. The return of China’s outbound tourism aligns with the revival of ITB China as an in-person event from today until 14 September in the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center. Under the anchor theme “Crossing Barriers, Connecting Markets”, China’s premier B2B travel trade show is set to play a crucial role in reconnecting global travel suppliers with the resurgent Chinese market, forging a collective path forward for the industry.
“To meet the needs of the industry over the past few challenging years, we have remained very active in China, developing various event formats and maintaining our commitment to fostering links between the overseas and Chinese travel markets. Now, we are here to get the industry back on track, supporting our global partners to forward their business relationships, and to facilitate invaluable cooperation within the Chinese travel industry,” said David Axiotis, General Manager of Messe Berlin (Shanghai).
