| The magnet for the global tourism industry
26,000 visitors (2015: 23,000) attended the ITB Berlin Convention, another new record. Decision-makers and opinion-formers debated the key topics concerning the travel industry at a total of 200 events which took place in eight auditoriums. This year the focus was on Travel 4.0 – The Digitalization of the Travel Industry which was the subject of numerous panel discussions and exclusive surveys.
Due to the evident willingness of many travelers to spend, the subject of luxury travel also attracted a great deal of interest.

|
|
| Discussions also took place about the opportunities and risks facing tourism as a consequence of the influx of refugees to Europe. With the first appearance in Europe by a humanoid robot from Japan – clad as an elegant trade show hostess – visitors to ITB Berlin were able to see for themselves how engineers and scientists view the future of a service-based industry.
Selected presentations from Wednesday until Saturday are available online at our ITB Berlin Convention website.
We are looking forward to welcoming you at ITB Berlin Convention 2017 from 8 to 11 March 2017.
