In 2012, 62 countries and 150 Turkish tourist resorts and towns attended to EMITT Fair, which is getting prepared to set a new record with much broader attendance. 60.500 m2 of exhibition area was visited by 4.500 exhibitors, 57.000 professionals and 71.000 vacationists. Compared to 2011 the total number of visitors has increased by 12 percent.

Municipalities who want to stand out in the world and in Turkey, development agencies, tourism companies and industry professionals show up on a regular basis at EMITT Fair every year. Hacer Aydın Director of Ekin Fair, states that EMITT is among the most respected international tourism fairs which contributes value to countries, touristic places and companies. Aydın claims that they received record-breaking applications for EMITT therefore it is certain that EMITT Fair will break a new application record in January 2013.

EMITT Fair: EMITT Fair first took place in Istanbul at the TÜYAP Tepebaşı Fair Convention and Congress Center in 1997 as the Voyager International Tourism and Holiday Exhibition. It relocated to TÜYAP Fair, Convention and Congress Center at Beylikdüzü on its third anniversary upon its rapid growth and took place in 4 halls totaling 700m2 in 1999. EMITT became known as the East Mediterranean International Tourism and Travel Exhibition as of that date. Attracting quite a bit of attention from both regional as well as the international tourism community, EMITT not only grew with respect to the number of participating countries, halls and the area standpoint, but further came to reflect the growth in Turkey’s tourism sector. In addition to breaking various new grounds, EMITT proved to be a success in becoming Europe’s 5th largest Tourism Fair within 15 years. The Fair is expected to implement various new projects, both on an international as well as on a national scale in the upcoming period. ITE Group PLC, one of world’s leading exhibition event organizers, became a partner of Ekin Fuar Inc., in 2009. www.emittistanbul.com
