Held at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre and co-located with MICE Show Asia and Travel Tech Asia, the event is expected to attract thousands of travel industry leaders, tourism organisations, hospitality brands, airlines, technology providers and buyers from across the globe.
As traveller expectations continue to evolve, ITB Asia 2026 is positioning itself as the leading platform where innovation, business opportunities and experiential travel trends come together.
New Experience Zones Focus on High-Growth Travel Markets
One of the most significant additions to ITB Asia 2026 is the launch of dedicated Experience Zones that will spotlight three of the world's fastest-growing tourism sectors: Gastronomy Tourism, Wellness Tourism and Adventure Tourism.
These specialised zones have been created in response to changing traveller preferences, with increasing numbers of visitors seeking authentic food experiences, wellness-focused escapes and active outdoor adventures.
The Experience Zones will provide exhibitors with targeted visibility while helping buyers identify new products and partnerships within these rapidly expanding segments. By bringing like-minded businesses together, the initiative aims to create valuable networking opportunities and drive meaningful commercial outcomes.
Adding further excitement is the new Experience Pavilion powered by Tripadvisor, which will showcase the growing importance of experiential travel and provide an engaging platform where exhibitors can inspire visitors through immersive tourism offerings.
Guided Tours Create Smarter Networking Opportunities

Designed to maximise efficiency and business productivity, these tours will connect buyers directly with exhibitors that align with their specific interests and business goals. Rather than navigating the vast exhibition independently, participants will benefit from structured introductions and targeted discovery experiences.
The initiative is expected to improve exhibitor visibility while enabling buyers to identify relevant products, destinations and services more effectively.
As the travel industry becomes increasingly specialised, these curated experiences reflect a growing demand for personalised business networking and targeted engagement opportunities.
