Rimini (Italy) 12 May 2025 — A new era dawns on the horizon of tourism and hospitality. From October 8 to 10, 2025, TTG Travel Experience and InOut | The Hospitality Community, curated by Italian Exhibition Group, will once again take centre stage at Rimini Expo Centre. This event brings together the entire tourism and hospitality ecosystem in a single, large platform, fostering relationship building, idea generation, and defining the new coordinates of contemporary hospitality.
The central theme of the 62nd edition of the event, “Awake To a New Era”, is more than just a slogan: it's a pressing call to recognise the profound changes that are reshaping global tourism. The post-pandemic world, digital acceleration, and the new demands of travellers who are increasingly seeking authentic, regenerating, and sustainable experiences all require a new mindset.
In this context, TTG Travel Experience and InOut | The Hospitality Community assert themselves as the meeting point for the entire organised tourism industry, where national and international buyers engage in dialogue with tour operators, tourism organisations, destinations, and accommodation facilities. This year's innovations include My Agenda by TTG, an advanced demand-supply matching platform that empowers national and international buyers to connect with Italian and foreign sellers. Additionally, TTG Next Start Up, a district dedicated to young companies, is growing rapidly, revolutionising the industry with technological solutions, sustainable mobility, digital experiences, and innovative service models. To enhance the offer, the event has expanded the areas dedicated to thermal and nautical tourism, as these sectors are experiencing significant growth.
InOut | The Hospitality Community, in perfect synergy with TTG Travel Experience, remains the go-to event for those who design, furnish, and renovate hospitality spaces. Hotels, hotel chains, architects, designers, general contractors, campsites, beach resorts, and construction companies will discover the most advanced solutions for a hospitality experience that prioritises well-being, functionality, and sustainability. The 2025 edition will focus on three main areas: well-being, with two halls dedicated to a holistic approach that integrates wellness, physical and mental regeneration, sports, and food as essential elements of a wellness-focused vacation; sports & fitness, increasingly
present in the modern tourist experience; and technology, the star of smart hospitality designed to simplify life for both guests and managers: one-click check-in and check-out, voice controls in the room, smart home automation, and artificial intelligence for enhanced experience and efficiency.
“The paradigms of the past are no longer sufficient to comprehend the complexity of the present: tourism must evolve. 'Awake To a New Era' symbolises this collective awakening, a new awareness that involves the entire industry, calling for a redefinition of approaches and dynamics in a world that's constantly evolving”, remarks Gloria Armiri, Group Exhibition Manager at TTG Travel Experience and InOut, as she shares her insights on The Hospitality Community.
In this context, the 2025 innovations, from exhibition content to logistics, are integrated. The direct Rome-Rimini air connection, organised by IEG and operated by Luxwing from October 7 to 10, simplifies access to the expo centre for buyers and professionals in the industry, optimising time and business opportunities. This strategic choice supports the growth of foreign presences, which increased by 15% in the last edition, a figure that demonstrates the growing international appeal of TTG and InOut. A new travel option, joining the existing ones, including train travel. The Riminifiera Railway Station, located within the Rimini Expo Centre, is situated on the Milan-Bari line, just 50 metres from the South Entrance and is active during the event days.

Rimini, 11 October 2024 – A record number of qualified attendees (+ 9% total and + 15% foreign attendance, compared to 2023) for the 61st edition of TTG Travel Experience and the second Inout | The Contract Community, organised by Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) which concluded successfully today at Rimini Expo Centre. A surge in numbers that confirms the excitement of the tourism industry, which placed the fair at the centre of attention of institutions, international buyers, industry companies, and the media. The most important b2b event at a national level for the tourism industry brought 2,700 exhibiting brands, 1,000 buyers from all over the world, 55 start-ups, and 683 Italian and foreign journalists to Rimini. There was also a record number of 18,000 business meetings over the three days.
TURISMO, A NEW NEED FOR TRUTH IS BORN
VERITAS, the main theme of TTG, unfolded over the 200 events with 250 speakers in the 9 arenas, declining the concept in all its different facets through talks and debates. The search for truth for tourism has focused on the need to rely on truthful stories about the destinations, real trend data and scientifically verifiable market analyses in a time in which storytelling is artificially created, fake news is rampant, and reviews are often misleading.
TTG TRAVEL EXPERIENCE, A THOUSAND BUYERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND 66 FOREIGN DESTINATIONS. ITALY IMPACTS WITH ALL ITS 20 REGIONS
Villages, art cities, food and wine, not to mention the growth of cycling tourism, have made Italy the most popular destination, and are just a part of the offer that attracted the thousand foreign buyers present at the fair from 62 countries (55% from Europe and 45% from the rest of the world), led by North America (18%), followed by the UK (15%) and Germany (10%). TTG is making its mark as an increasingly international fair, welcoming 66 foreign destinations, from Europe to Asia, from the Middle East to Africa, and the Americas. TTG also brought all 20 Italian regions to Rimini, making the fair a convergence of excellence for incoming tourism.
A BOOM IN LUXURY TOURISM IN ITALY
Italy is also leader in the European luxury hotel market, with an annual turnover of 30.5 billion euros and a market share of 21%. In our country, 45% of hotel investments are focused on the luxury segment and concentrated on top cities (Rome, Milan, Venice and Florence), as well as on seaside and mountain areas (Source: Deloitte). TTG has intercepted this trend by creating a specific event: the Luxury Event by TTG. A format with the active engagement of buyers involved in 1,400 appointments, confirming the expertise of the Italian luxury players, focused on the needs of the new high-end tourist in search of extraordinary experiences.
TTG NEXT START-UP
TTG 2024 has created an authentic Tourism Innovation District with 55 start-ups all set to revolutionise the industry in the areas of Technology, Mobility, Hospitality, Experience and Tour Operating. The programme included 20 conferences and round tables, as well as the Startup Pitching Session, which awarded the best emerging startups in Tourism.
SANTANCHÈ: “TOURISM IS A FUNDAMENTAL PILLAR FOR THE ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL GROWTH OF OUR NATION”
The trade associations representing the various sectors of the tourism and hospitality industry, as well as the academic world with universities and cultural institutions, were all in attendance at TTG and InOut. At the inauguration, the Minister of Tourism, Daniela Santanchè underlined the essential role of tourism as a fundamental pillar for the growth of the nation and that of TTG as a reference event in Italy for the worldwide promotion of the industry. Also present were Maurizio Ermeti, president of IEG, Jamil Sadegholvaad, mayor of Rimini, Andrea Corsini, councillor for Tourism of Emilia-Romagna, Pier Ezhaya, president of ASTOI-Confindustria Viaggi, Franco Gattinoni, president of FTO-Federazione Turismo Organizzato, Flavio Ghiringhelli, president of IBAR-Italian Board Airline Representatives, Bernabò Bocca, president of Federalberghi, Federico Pedini Amati, Secretary of State for Tourism of the Republic of San Marino and Gian Marco Centinaio, vice president of the Senate of the Republic.
