Get real results at Travel Trade Shows - not just handshakes

Boost your trade show impact with smarter marketing, business development and networking strategies.

Visibility at Travel Trade Shows is at risk.

Tourism conferences like WTM London and ITB Berlin offer massive opportunities, but standing out is harder than ever: Brands and individuals increasingly get lost amid thousands of attendees, hundreds of keynotes, endless pre-event emails, and fragmented visitor attention.

You need a smarter approach. 

Even having a premium booth, dedicated agency or commercial team no longer guarantees visibility: A successful trade show presence today requires a smarter trade marketing, business development and networking playbook to cut through the noise and capture quality leads.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need a booth at travel trade shows? 

Booking a stand at major events like WTM London or ITB Berlin feels vital for global visibility, but a "booth-first" strategy no longer guarantees success. Today, surging visitor numbers, shifting digital habits, and geopolitical uncertainties make relying solely on three days of physical foot traffic a massive risk. With even small trade show booths often costing over €5,000, a traditional approach is highly vulnerable. To protect your investment and maximize ROI, you need an integrated, multi-channel strategy.

For Which Travel Trade Shows do you provide support?

I provide marketing , business development and networking support for most major European tourism industry exhibitions, including WTM London, ITB Berlin, TTG Experience Rimini, BIT Milano. 

What's the difference between you and a traditional PR or marketing agency?

Unlike traditional PR and marketing agencies that often demand high monthly retainers and long-term contracts (as an exhibitor I've worked with a few of them), my trade show consulting focuses on high-impact, flexible engagements designed to maximize ROI. Also, standard agencies prioritize general media relations and brand awareness, but frequently lack the specialized expertise in travel distribution, business development or trade marketing necessary to convert exhibit presence into sales. I bridge this gap by integrating strategic marketing with outreach and lead conversion tactics, ensuring your trade show investment delivers tangible business growth, rather than just surface-level visibility. 

How else can we cooperate?

I'm always open to discussing new opportunities to cooperate around global events and converences, for example by featuring your ideas and perspectives in my LinkedIn content (you can see here some recent content around ITB Berlin), in the resources I publish (like the AI in Travel Marketing eBook) or by co-organizing networking events alongside major industry events (like the upcoming Catalyst Socials at Cannes Lions).
