ITB Asia

The ITB Asia 2025 is set to be a defining event in the global travel industry, bringing together key players from across the globe to the heart of Asia. Taking place from 15 - 17 October 2025 at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, this three-day B2B trade show and convention will offer unparalleled networking opportunities, insights into emerging travel trends, and access to thousands of exhibiting companies across multiple sectors of the travel industry.

Now in its 18th year, ITB Asia has firmly established itself as Asia’s leading travel trade show, mirroring the success of its global parent event, ITB Berlin. Organised by Messe Berlin Asia Pacific and supported by the Singapore Exhibition & Convention Bureau, the show is set to be even bigger and more dynamic, offering a comprehensive platform for international and regional exhibitors, buyers, and industry professionals.

What to Expect at ITB Asia 2025

As Asia’s premier travel trade event, ITB Asia 2025 will cover a wide range of key travel verticals, including:

Leisure Travel: Explore the growing leisure travel market in Asia, one of the fastest-growing sectors in the global travel industry.

Corporate Travel: Discover how businesses are rethinking travel solutions to meet the needs of today’s globalized workforce.
Travel Technology: Delve into the cutting-edge innovations in travel technology that are transforming the way we plan, book, and experience travel.

Co-Located Events: MICE Show Asia & Travel Tech Asia

What makes ITB Asia 2025 even more compelling is the fact that it is co-located with two major events: MICE Show Asia and Travel Tech Asia. Together, these three shows form one of the largest travel trade events in Asia, offering attendees the opportunity to access three distinct, yet interconnected, sectors under one roof.

MICE Show Asia will focus on the meetings, incentives, and events industry, offering a platform for businesses to explore the latest trends, technologies, and destination solutions for corporate and incentive travel.
Travel Tech Asia will showcase the latest innovations in travel technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), blockchain, and data analytics, all designed to make travel more efficient and personalized.

By bringing together these three pillars of the travel industry—Leisure, MICE, and Travel Technology—ITB Asia 2025 will provide a unique and comprehensive view of the future of travel in Asia.

A Global Marketplace for Travel Industry Professionals

ITB Asia serves as a critical meeting point for buyers and sellers from all over the world.

International buyers, including tour operators, meeting planners, and travel agents from across Asia Pacific and beyond, will be on the lookout for the latest products and services in leisure, MICE, and corporate travel. For exhibitors, this is an invaluable opportunity to showcase their offerings to a global audience, build relationships, and drive new business growth.
