27-06-24

FITUR, the International Tourism Trade Fair, will convene the global tourism market from January 22-26 at IFEMA MADRID, in a context of tourism recovery. According to the World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism), in the first quarter of 2024 more than 285 million tourists made international trips, representing a 20% increase compared to 2023. These figures project an excellent 45th edition of FITUR, consolidating the records registered in 2024.

With a strong professional orientation, FITUR will represent the entire tourism value chain, including countries and destinations, the accommodation sector, agencies and tour operators, technology companies, means of transport and institutions from around the world. The fair will showcase the latest trends in the sector.

In this new edition, with Mexico as a Partner Country, FITUR is presented as a fundamental tool for the revitalization of the global tourism business. In addition to promoting the generation and exchange of knowledge, FITUR seeks to foster innovation, competitiveness and sustainability.

FITUR 2025 will offer multiple benefits for destinations and companies in the tourism sector, highlighting its focus on networking, global visibility, direct sales and training for professionals. The fair is expected to boost both participating businesses and the growth and innovation of the entire tourism industry.
