Tourism Fair Albania (TFA) Tirana

The Tourism Fair Albania (TFA) is an annual international travel and tourism trade fair held in Tirana, the capital of Albania. Open to both travel industry professionals and the general public, it provides a platform for showcasing tourism products and services, establishing business contacts and exchanging industry knowledge internationally. Organised by I-Exhibitions, the event takes place at the Palace of Congresses (Pallati i Kongreseve) in central Tirana. Its main focus is on tourism development in Albania and South-East Europe, the international promotion of regional destinations and the growth of sustainable, year-round tourism.

The exhibition covers a broad range of sectors, including travel and tourism, hotels and hospitality, destination marketing and tourism services. Hotels, resorts, tour operators, travel agencies, destination management companies (DMCs), tourism boards and local service providers showcase their travel packages, accommodation, leisure activities and specialist services. Particular emphasis is placed on cultural, nature-based and experiential tourism, with offerings centred on historical landmarks, national parks, coastal destinations, traditional cuisine and authentic local experiences. The fair also features the latest technologies for the travel and hospitality industries, including digital booking and payment systems and artificial intelligence applications. Other key topics include environmentally responsible tourism, improving service standards and professional training and development within the sector.

A key aspect of TFA is its role in fostering international business relationships. Through organised B2B meetings and the B2Balkan networking platform, exhibitors and trade visitors can establish new business contacts, develop partnerships and create cross-border travel products. The main trade visitor groups include tour operators, travel agents, hoteliers, tourism managers, international buyers, investors and representatives of tourism organisations. Members of the public can also explore a wide range of destinations, holiday packages and leisure opportunities.

For Albania, Tourism Fair Albania serves as an important showcase for the country's tourism industry and helps raise its profile as an international travel destination. Exhibits highlight the coastal regions along the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, as well as historic and cultural sites, mountain landscapes and rural areas. Alongside Albania's diverse tourism offering, the fair also promotes destinations across other South-East European countries. It therefore provides a comprehensive overview of the region's tourism potential while encouraging cooperation between domestic and international industry stakeholders.

The exhibition is complemented by a conference and professional programme featuring industry presentations, panel discussions and face-to-face business meetings. These sessions address current developments, challenges and future prospects in the tourism industry, with an emphasis on knowledge sharing, identifying new business opportunities and building international networks.

The venue is the centrally located Palace of Congresses, one of Tirana's established conference and event centres. It can be reached from Tirana International Airport by taxi or public transport towards the city centre. Combining a diverse range of tourism offerings with professional knowledge exchange and international business networking, Tourism Fair Albania gives businesses and visitors an opportunity to establish new contacts and gain insights into the development of tourism in Albania and across South-East Europe.

The Tourism Fair Albania (TFA) takes place for the 5th time on 2 days from Wed., 10.02.2027 to Thur., 11.02.2027 in Tirana.
