Emitt Istanbul

EMITT – East Mediterranean International Tourism & Travel Exhibition is one of the world’s leading and largest tourism trade fairs, serving as an essential meeting point for industry professionals and travel enthusiasts alike. Each year, the Istanbul Expo Center transforms into a vibrant hub of international tourism business. The fair is organized by ICA Events, a globally active company with extensive experience in business-to-business events.

As a unique platform, EMITT brings together the latest global tourism trends under one roof while offering a comprehensive overview of the industry's diverse offerings — from traditional summer and winter holidays to outdoor adventures and niche segments such as medical, balloon, and diving tourism. The wide range of exhibitors includes boutique and eco-hotels, tour operators, online travel agencies, destination management companies, as well as providers of IT solutions, hotel management systems, catering services, transportation, and medical institutions such as clinics, hospitals, and aesthetic treatment providers.

With around 30,000 professional visitors annually — including decision-makers from travel agencies, tourism associations, government bodies, municipalities, the media, and the transport and leisure industries — EMITT serves as an effective business platform and a catalyst for new partnerships, collaborations, and innovative business models. Exhibitors represent a broad spectrum of sectors, from tourism organizations, amusement parks, and cultural sites to transportation companies and specialized IT and logistics service providers.

What sets EMITT apart is its strong connection to its host city, Istanbul, and to Türkiye itself — one of the world’s most diverse travel destinations. The fair plays a significant role in strengthening Türkiye’s position as a leading player in the global tourism market. It also provides numerous destinations with the opportunity to showcase their offerings through elaborately designed national pavilions and regional presentations.

Event highlights include interactive expert forums, targeted networking formats, and exclusive business programs designed to foster dialogue between international exhibitors and Turkish industry stakeholders.

The Istanbul Expo Center stands out as a venue due to its strategic location near the airport and its modern infrastructure. It is easily accessible via public transportation, taxi, or shuttle services — making it an ideal location for a trade fair of international standing.

Whether you're looking to forge new business contacts, explore emerging markets, or finalize concrete deals — attending EMITT in Istanbul is a forward-looking investment in the future of the travel industry, year after year.

The twenty-ninth edition of the Emitt takes place on 3 days from Thur., 05.02.2026 to Sat., 07.02.2026 in Istanbul.
