Dear Skålleague, 

For your information, we are working to strengthen ties with strategic partners by reinforcing agreements to participate at trade fairs and virtual platforms, thinking about the opportunities for recovery of the industry in the coming months.

We are also willing to provide you with information about free opportunities to participate in this type of events, so that you can make the most of these months where the effort is placed on rebuilding the industry.

For example, ITB Community will offer a comprehensive user experience, virtual events (including the upcoming ITB Asia Virtual, which takes place from 21-23 October 2020) with business networking opportunities, and knowledge exchange with expansive interactive content for community members to leverage on.

Being the unique platform of its kind for the travel trade industry in Asia, ITB Community will also see through a year-long engagement programme for all Travel and Tourism stakeholders, free of charge for its inception year. ITB Community will leverage on ITB Asia’s global database of travel suppliers and buyers to virtually continue their conversations and to contribute best practices and content for the travel trade to navigate the recovery of Tourism.

You can join the event and register for free on the ITB Community platform where you can engage with the travel community. Join groups and partake in forum discussions, connect with your peers by posting and sharing interesting articles, thoughts and ideas on your activity feed - these are some of the things that you can expect!
