ITB Berlin: A strong focus on travel technology
Under the new theme of “Take travel technology to the next level. Together,” the travel trade show is giving innovative travel technology solutions their biggest platform to date
More than in almost any other sector, change and innovation have always been the tourism industry’s driving forces – so it is no coincidence that from March 5-7 at ITB Berlin 2024, the Travel Technology segment again occupies a standout role.
The popular eTravel Stage will again be a magnet with an impressive program of panels, keynote speeches and lectures, while providers from more than 30 countries will present their forward-looking products and ideas in a total of five halls.
