I am a travel agency
Find tour operators, sign distribution deals, build new B2B routes.
Overview
Travel agencies — independent or in a network — use tourism fairs to refresh contracts, discover new destinations, find DMCs, and negotiate yearly rates. The right fair depends on your client mix (outbound/inbound) and your top-selling regions.
Why it matters
Fairs are still the fastest way to meet 30+ suppliers in 3 days, get exclusive rates, and benchmark competitors. Pre-booked B2B meetings convert 5–10x better than cold emails sent during the year.
