Comunicato n. 6 del 09/10/2026 ( download download )
TTG Travel Experience 2026, scheduled to take place from 14th to 16th October at Rimini Expo Centre, will be spread across 14 halls in the venue’s West Wing. A redesigned layout will accommodate the entire tourism supply chain, from Italian and international destinations to travel intermediaries, right through to companies specialising in technologies, transport and services.
The exhibition will be arranged into three main areas – Italy, Global Village and The World – so that visitors will find the show easier to navigate, the various elements of the offer will be further enhanced and opportunities for networking amongst industry professionals will be greater.
DIVISIONS BY AREA
Italy (Halls A1-A2-A3-C1-C2-C3)
Spread over six halls, the national tourism offer will promote Italian destinations. Regions, local authorities, DMOs, consortia, inbound operators and hospitality providers will be presenting products and experiences that highlight the diversity of Italy’s tourism heritage. A key area for the encounter between local areas and buyers, designed to foster the development of new commercial opportunities and promote the various forms of tourism.
Global Village (Halls A4-A5-A6-C4-C5)
The marketplace for travel intermediaries and businesses offering tourism products and services is expanding its exhibition space. Tour operators, agency networks, transport companies, car hire firms, hotel chains, insurance companies and technology firms will be grouped in an area designed to foster business relationships and new partnerships. A setting where innovation and service evolution meet the needs of the tourism sector.
The World (Halls A7-C6-C7)
Four halls will host international destinations and foreign operators interested in the Italian market. Tourism boards, inbound tourist operators, DMCs, airlines and hospitality providers will be presenting their proposals to travel trade professionals, offering new opportunities for networking and international tourism product development.
The African Village (Hall C6), a collective project specifically for specialist operators and destinations in sub-Saharan Africa, will be back as part of The World area. The initiative groups organisations committed to promoting the African continent, thus favouring business contacts and the development of new travel packages.
INNOVATION AND SPECIAL PROJECTS
Alongside these three main areas, TTG Travel Experience 2026 will also feature a series of vertical formats to address specific segments of the tourism market.
The TTG Next Startup Area (Hall C3 – ITALY) will focus on young companies that are developing innovative solutions for the sector. Besides being an exhibition area, it will also foster dialogue between start-ups, investors and professionals and feature an Arena for presentations, meetings and in-depth discussions. The project is also open to international participation to encourage the exchange of experiences and the formation of new partnerships.
Hotel Chains, the section for Italian and international hotel chains, will also be back. The initiative offers hotel groups opportunities for visibility and networking by accompanying their exhibition presence with Hotel Talks and professional meetings scheduled via MyAgenda.
THE ARENAS: VENUES FOR DISCUSSION AND INNOVATION
To further enrich the TTG Travel Experience exhibition itinerary, a system of themed arenas will host meetings, in-depth discussions and opportunities for dialogue on key issues affecting the tourism industry. The Main Arena, located in the South Hall and shared with InOut, will act as the meeting point between the two events. Inside the exhibition halls, the Global Village Arena (C4) will hold in-depth sessions aimed at professionals across the tourism sector, while the Italy Arena (A2) will address themes and prospects regarding Italian tourism. Discussions on innovation will take place in the TTG Next Startup Arena (C3), where presentations and debates between start-ups, businesses and professionals will be held. The Book&Go Arena (A7), a space for discussion and tourism operator development, will complete the picture.
