OTDYKH Leisure Moscow

The OTDYKH Leisure is an international travel trade fair held in Russia and has been recognised as one of the country's leading platforms for the travel and tourism industry since its launch in 1995. The name OTDYKH is derived from the Russian word for "rest" or "holiday", reflecting the event's core focus on showcasing innovative travel products, tourism services and forward-looking concepts for both the domestic and international tourism markets. The exhibition is held annually at the Timiryazev Exhibition Centre in Moscow and is organised by Euro Expo, an experienced organiser of international trade fairs with a strong focus on the tourism and service industries.

OTDYKH Leisure covers every major segment of the modern tourism industry. Its scope extends from domestic, inbound and outbound tourism to business travel (MICE), health and medical tourism, wellness and culinary tourism, cruises, glamping, camping, as well as educational and cultural tourism. The exhibition is further enhanced by innovative IT solutions for the tourism sector, modern mobility and transport concepts, and insurance and financial services. As a result, visitors gain a comprehensive overview of current market trends, emerging destinations and digital innovations that are reshaping the future of tourism.

The exhibition plays a significant role in Russia's tourism industry by serving as the country's leading business platform for fostering cooperation between domestic and international tourism professionals while showcasing the tourism potential of Russia's regions to a global trade audience. National tourism organisations, regional tourism authorities of the Russian Federation and international destinations use the event to establish new business relationships, strengthen partnerships, encourage investment and support the sustainable development of tourism. In doing so, OTDYKH Leisure makes an important contribution to strengthening Russia's international profile as a travel destination.

One of the exhibition's key highlights is its extensive conference programme, featuring conferences, seminars and panel discussions where industry experts present the latest developments, emerging trends and innovative business models shaping the tourism sector. Particular emphasis is placed on digital transformation, sustainable tourism, new travel concepts and the future of international travel.

The exhibitor profile reflects virtually every sector of the tourism industry. Participants include national and regional tourism organisations, tour operators, travel agencies, destination management companies (DMCs), hotels and other accommodation providers, museums, leisure and theme parks, cruise operators, transport companies, educational institutions, IT companies, as well as providers of insurance and financial services. The exhibition is primarily aimed at tour operators, travel agencies, representatives of tourism associations, hospitality businesses, transport providers, government authorities, investors and members of the media. It also attracts travel enthusiasts seeking information on new destinations, travel products and the latest industry trends.

The Timiryazev Exhibition Centre is located in the northern part of Moscow and is easily accessible thanks to its excellent public transport connections. Several metro stations, together with bus and tram services, provide convenient access to the exhibition grounds. Its location in the Russian capital also allows exhibitors and trade visitors to benefit from a well-developed infrastructure offering a wide choice of hotels, restaurants and cultural attractions, making it easy to combine a visit to the exhibition with business meetings or a stay in Moscow.
