Despite the tense situation in the Middle East, which in some cases led to a lack of flights, the World's Leading Travel Trade Show again demonstrated the importance of trust, international cooperation and face-to-face meetings in the industry.

Due to a one-off change in dates, the next ITB Berlin will take place from 16 to 18 March 2027.

A total of 5,601 exhibitors from 166 countries were represented at ITB Berlin.

During the three trade visitor days, nearly 97,000 attendees from all over the world took advantage of the show to hold in-depth discussions and cultivate networks and business relations.

Despite limited flight availability in some cases due to the conflict in the Middle East, visitor numbers were almost on a par with the previous year.

This once again demonstrates ITB Berlin’s importance as the leading international travel trade show, especially in challenging times.

At the same time, it shows how valuable personal contact, face-to-face meetings and direct dialogue are for the industry – particularly at a time when orientation, trust and partnerships are more important than ever.

96 per cent of visitors emphasised the high quality of meetings and their intention to return, underlining the continuing international appeal of the World's Leading Travel Trade Show in its anniversary year.

We were delighted to have our teams from TAL Aviation Germany and our international offices on-site, representing our valued airline partners and connecting with travel trade professionals from around the world.

From strengthening long-standing partnerships to exchanging market insights and exploring future opportunities in the airline industry, ITB 2026 was a tremendous success for us.

A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to meet with us in Berlin. Your collaboration and enthusiasm drive our industry forward.

We are already looking forward to continuing these conversations! 🚀✈️
