The epicenter of the global tourism trade: Istanbul Tourism Fair (ITF 2026) | News

The global tourism industry has evolved far beyond the search for holiday destinations; it is now a huge economy, shaped by technology, sustainability and strategic partnerships. At the heart of this economic momentum, Istanbul is preparing to host one of the most prestigious gatherings in the sector: the Istanbul Tourism Fair (ITF). This major organization, scheduled for September 24-25, 2026, brings together professionals from the tourism sector under one strategic roof at the crossroads of continents.

ITF’s core architecture is designed to create a professional commercial atmosphere. By deliberately filtering out unproductive crowds, the fair focuses exclusively on tourism professionals, investors and key decision makers. This targeted approach elevates ITF from a traditional exhibition space to a high-speed B2B trading platform laying the foundation for large-scale international agreements.
A crucial component supporting the commercial impact of the fair is the ITF Tourism Summit, held concurrently with the exhibition. In addition to the business negotiations taking place on the stands, participants will have the opportunity to attend panels and sessions where world leaders discuss the emerging trends shaping the future of travel.

By combining Istanbul’s unparalleled logistics advantages with the industry’s professional expertise, the Istanbul Tourism Fair aims to increase Turkey’s share of the global tourism market while raising industry standards to new heights.
