As Italian Exhibition Group prepares to open the doors at Rimini Expo Centre this October (14-16), the market turns its focus to Italy’s premier tourism marketplace for contracting, trends, and strategic synergies.

The global travel trade is readying to converge on the Adriatic coast as TTG Travel Experience 2026 returns to the Rimini Expo Centre from 14–16 October 2026. Recognised as Italy’s flagship B2B event for global tourism promotion and product commercialisation, the three-day marketplace, organised by Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), remains a crucial fixture on the international trade calendar.

Positioned at a vital juncture in the annual contracting cycle, the event serves as the primary hub where buyers and sellers establish commercial strategies for the upcoming season, track emerging consumer shifts, and negotiate strategic partnerships.
