Ecuador Promotes Own International Travel Fair

Preparations for the second edition of the Ecuador International Tourism Fair (FITE 2005), scheduled to take place from September 22 to 25 this year at the Crystal Palace of Guayaquil, were discussed Wednesday at the City Hall of that emblematic Ecuadorian burg.

Organizers are hoping to have approximately 300 exhibitors from 30 countries, some 4,000 professionals from the region and nearly 80,000 visitors.

The main goal is to show off the many tourist choices the province of Guayas and the country as a whole have to offer.

The Organizing Committee of FITE 2005 is inviting international tour operators from everywhere around the world in an effort to give the local hospitality industry a mighty leg up into the future.

The fair will feature expositions, business meetings, academic activities, an international contest of tourist photography, the traditional folkloric festival, a number of FAM trips for tour operators and journalists, gastronomic presentations and a whole lot more come September.
