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
