The 45th GTM Germany Travel Mart is expected to attract around 500 representatives from the international tourism industry from 51 countries.
The GTM is organised annually by the German National Tourist Board (GNTB) in cooperation with varying partner regions and partner cities. This year, the state capital of Hesse is hosting the event for the third time (previously 1977 and 2005) from May 12-14.
Around 300 suppliers from the hotel industry, transportation, plus local and regional tourism organisations attend. They will be presenting their offers to the international audience of travel trade professionals, comprising around 500 key account managers from the international tourism industry, plus media representatives from significant source markets for the incoming tourism in Germany.
The GTM is the most important B2B-platform for the German incoming tourism. The heart of the event is the two day workshop in the RheinMain CongressCenter which was newly opened in 2018.
Petra Hedorfer, Chief Executive Officer of the GNTB explains, “Digitalisation, sustainability, as well as the appropriate development of offers and infrastructure, are the key challenges for the tourism industry within the international marketplace. Destination Germany is excellently positioned regarding these challenges. The GTM is an excellent platform to present our offers to the international travel industry and to further expand the success of the German incoming tourism.”
