Co-located with MICE Show Asia and Travel Tech Asia, ITB Asia 2026 promises to be one of the most influential travel industry gatherings in the Asia-Pacific region, offering valuable opportunities for exhibitors, buyers and travel professionals to connect and explore the future of tourism.
Experiences in Motion Drives the 2026 Theme
This year's theme, “Experiences in Motion: Human-Centred Design in Travel & Tourism”, reflects the rapid transformation taking place across the global travel sector. As travellers increasingly seek personalised, meaningful and immersive experiences, tourism businesses are embracing new strategies that place people at the centre of every journey.
The theme highlights the growing importance of creating travel experiences that combine technology, innovation and authentic human connections. From seamless digital booking systems to customised itineraries and experiential tourism offerings, the industry is evolving to meet changing consumer expectations.
As travel continues to recover and expand globally, human-centred design is becoming a critical factor in delivering memorable and sustainable tourism experiences.
New Experience Zones and Guided Tours Create Business Opportunities
One of the most exciting additions to ITB Asia 2026 is the introduction of dedicated Experience Zones. These specially curated areas will showcase emerging trends, innovative products and experiential travel concepts from around the world.
The new zones are designed to help exhibitors engage directly with buyers seeking specialised tourism products and services. Attendees will gain hands-on exposure to new travel experiences while exploring the latest developments shaping the future of tourism.
Complementing these zones will be a series of curated Guided Tours, providing participants with targeted networking opportunities and direct access to relevant exhibitors and industry segments. These structured experiences are designed to facilitate meaningful conversations and generate real business outcomes.
A Global Gathering of Travel Industry Leaders
More than 1,500 high-quality buyers, over 1,000 exhibitors and upwards of 160 expert speakers are expected to attend, creating an unmatched environment for business development, knowledge sharing and strategic partnerships.
The event serves as a vital platform where destinations, tourism boards, airlines, hotels, attractions, cruise operators and travel technology companies can showcase their offerings to influential decision-makers from across the industry.
Major Tourism Brands Confirm Participation
Several prominent tourism organisations and destination marketing bodies have already confirmed their participation in ITB Asia 2026.
Among the key exhibitors are Resorts World Sentosa, Tourism Fiji, Turespaña and Visit Maldives. Their presence reflects the growing importance of the Asia-Pacific market and the event’s ability to attract leading global tourism brands.
These exhibitors will use the platform to promote their latest tourism products, showcase destination developments and strengthen relationships with travel buyers from across international markets.
Resorts World Sentosa Named Official Integrated Resort Partner
Adding further prestige to the event, Resorts World Sentosa has been confirmed as the Official Integrated Resort Partner for ITB Asia 2026.
As one of Singapore’s premier tourism destinations, Resorts World Sentosa is renowned for its world-class attractions, luxury accommodation, entertainment offerings and integrated resort experiences. Its partnership with ITB Asia underscores Singapore’s continued role as a leading hub for tourism, business events and innovation in the region.
The collaboration also highlights the growing importance of integrated resort developments in shaping modern travel experiences and attracting international visitors.
Technology and Innovation Continue to Shape Tourism
Industry leaders will explore how technology can enhance operational efficiency while maintaining the human touch that travellers increasingly value.
The integration of technology and personalised service is expected to be one of the defining themes discussed throughout the conference programme.
Why ITB Asia Matters to the Future of Travel
