Once more Ibtm World, formerly EIBTM,
the most important fair in the world for
business travel, congresses and incen-
tives, was a resounding success: more
than 80,000 business meetings arranged,
4,000 international guest buyers and
15,500 professional visitors.
The show featured presentations of
new destinations, products and services
by more than 3,000 companies from 150
countries. Those attending included travel
agencies, tour operators, congress and
convention centres, hotel chains, service
companies and events organisers. More-
80,000
business
meetings
over, this was the first time that exhibitors
from Los Angeles, Luxembourg, Bulgaria,
Paraguay and Sri Lanka had taken part.
Ibtm World also featured a huge pro-
gramme of more than 100 conferences
and seminars organised in cooperation
with leading companies and experts from
around the world.
The event organiser, Reed Exhibi-
tions, renewed its agreement with Fira
de Barcelona to ensure that, after 12
years in the city, Ibtm World will continue
to take place at the Gran Via site until at
least 2019.
