The event is one of the longest-established tourism trade shows in Europe. At the same time, it serves as a meeting point for businesses, destinations and professionals active across the wider region.
During TT Warsaw, participants will be able to hold commercial meetings and explore new partnerships. In addition, the exhibition will cover both outbound and inbound tourism markets.
Poland’s role in the European travel market
The Polish travel market has recorded steady growth in recent years. Polish travellers are playing a larger role in international tourism flows, while demand for overseas holidays continues to expand.
Mediterranean destinations are showing particular interest in the Polish market. Several countries are examining new air links, tourism packages and partnerships with Polish travel agencies.
Polish travellers also rank highly among the commercial priorities of many Mediterranean destinations. These markets offer seaside holidays, organised packages, cultural experiences and short city breaks.
TT Warsaw 2026 aims to support this momentum. Therefore, it provides an organised setting for professional networking and the development of new agreements.
Strategic networking across the tourism supply chain
The exhibition brings together a broad range of exhibitors from different areas of the tourism sector. As a result, visitors can meet destinations, travel companies, airlines and technology providers in one venue.
National and local tourism organisations from dozens of countries take part in the event. These bodies present destinations, new tourism products and plans to increase international arrivals.
In addition, TT Warsaw welcomes tour operators and travel agencies from Poland. Professionals from neighbouring Central and Eastern European countries also attend.
The Czech Republic and Slovakia have a notable presence at the exhibition. Meanwhile, the event also attracts representatives from the Baltic states and other regional markets.
Hotel groups and independent hospitality businesses are also represented. Through their participation, they present properties, new products and commercial proposals to tour operators and travel agents.
Airlines form another part of the exhibition mix. Their presence supports discussions on new routes, air capacity and access to international destinations.
Finally, travel technology companies present tools for bookings, distribution and customer management. In this way, TT Warsaw covers different stages of the travel supply chain.
Focus on B2B meetings
According to analysis in the Polish travel trade press, this year’s event will place particular emphasis on business meetings. The Hosted Buyers Programme forms a key part of this strategy.
Through the programme, international exhibitors meet senior representatives of the Polish tourism market. Participants include buyers and executives responsible for commercial decisions.
The meetings focus on new contracts and travel packages. At the same time, professionals assess agreements for future tourism seasons.
The Hosted Buyers Programme allows exhibitors to arrange targeted meetings with potential partners. Therefore, the discussions go beyond general networking and focus on specific business objectives.
For international destinations, the programme provides direct access to the Polish market. Similarly, tour operators and travel agencies can identify new products for their programmes.
Outbound tourism and changing travel preferences
Alongside its commercial programme, TT Warsaw 2026 will feature conferences and workshops. The sessions will cover changing consumer preferences and new market needs.
One of the main themes will be the development of outbound tourism. This section will examine how travel choices are changing among consumers in Central Europe.
All-inclusive packages remain an important part of the organised travel market. They offer a clear price, combined services and a simple booking process for travellers.
However, the market is also becoming more varied. Short city breaks are gaining ground because they allow consumers to make several trips during the year.
At the same time, interest in tailor-made travel is increasing. These products allow travellers to shape their itinerary around their needs, available time and budget.
Sessions at the exhibition will examine these developments. In addition, they will show how tour operators and travel l agencies are adapting their product ranges.
Health, spa and wellness tourism
Health, spa and wellness tourism will also feature prominently at TT Warsaw. These sectors are recording strong demand in Eastern European markets.
Travellers are looking for programmes that combine accommodation, therapeutic services and wellness activities. Moreover, several destinations are investing in facilities that support health and medical tourism.
The market includes thermal springs, rehabilitation centres, wellness hotels and specialist resorts. At the same time, businesses are developing packages that combine health services with leisure.
This theme is relevant to both destinations and travel agencies. Destinations aim to promote their facilities, while agencies seek new products for their clients.
Digitalisation of B2B bookings
The digitalisation of bookings will form another main part of the conference programme. Technology companies will present tools designed for travel agents and other industry professionals.
New platforms allow users to check availability and prices in real time. They also make it easier to manage bookings from different suppliers.
These tools can cover hotels, flights, transfers and other travel services. Therefore, professionals can create complete packages through one process.
The programme will also present solutions for automating B2B transactions. In addition, it will examine how technology is changing the role of travel agencies.
One exhibition for professionals and consumers
A distinctive feature of TT Warsaw is its combination of professional and consumer activity. The first days of the exhibition are mainly dedicated to B2B meetings.
During this period, exhibitors can hold discussions with professionals in a more structured setting. As a result, meetings take place without the higher visitor numbers seen during the public days.
This structure allows participants to review commercial proposals and discuss contracts. It also provides enough time for product presentations and negotiations.
The exhibition then opens to the general public. In this way, exhibitors can communicate directly with final consumers.
Visitors can learn about destinations and travel packages. At the same time, they can compare options for their future holidays.
For exhibitors, the B2C part of the event provides direct insight into traveller preferences. It also supports the collection of information on demand for specific destinations and products.
TT Warsaw as a link between regional markets
TT Warsaw 2026 connects the Polish market with Central and Eastern Europe. It also provides access to professionals from the Baltic states and neighbouring countries.
Warsaw’s geographical position strengthens the regional role of the exhibition. Therefore, the event can act as a meeting point between Western European, Mediterranean and Eastern European markets.
For international destinations, participation provides access to a broad network of buyers. Meanwhile, Polish companies can expand their portfolio of commercial partners.
The event from 8 to 11 October will combine business meetings, presentations, conferences and direct contact with consumers. In this way, it will address the needs of both the tourism industry and the travelling public.
