trade fair received widespread media coverage, both in the industry
media as well as the economic and general media.

The growth of FITUR and IFEMA's commitment to provide the best

us to extend the site to 200,000 m2, distributed over 12 halls. More
new services are now available, as well as the best installations.
There is also the new addition of an exclusive access hall to speed up
access to the site and the new East Entrance with direct access to

FITUR offers the most complete range of tourism-related products in Feria de Madrid. This is the biggest trade fair for the tourism sector in Spain and it offers national and international destinations at different prices.
The International Tourism Fair, the main Spanish tourist fair, once again returns to Madrid. Visitors will have access to the largest selection of global tourist services and destinations over the five days.
The event will take place at the Feria de Madrid. The exhibition welcomes the entire selection of official bodies, wholesalers, tour operators, travel agencies, transport companies, hotel companies, etc. making for the main showcase for the domestic and international tourism sector.
The show will be open exclusively to professionals for the first two days, with access being extended to the general public over the weekend. A large programme of conferences, courses and presentations on tourism-related products will be taking place alongside the commercial exhibition.
This year it will include new destinations; namely, Bosnia Herzegovina. Other countries that attended the fair in the past, such as France, Italy, Argentina or Morocco, have decided to expand their exhibition area in Fitur. Besides, Kenya, a country that has recently opened a new tourism office in Spain, has decided to attend the fair this year too.
Fitur will also host a series of parallel lectures and activities aimed at serving as a meeting point for tourist agents.
The most outstanding forums in Fitur are the conference of Latin American Ministers of Tourism and businessmen working in the tourism sector, organised by Grupo Nexo; the 9th Euro-Mediterranean Forum, organised by Diálogo Mediterráneo; the FITURTECH tourist innovation and technology forum, organised by Instituto Tecnológico Hotelero; and the Sala de la Tecnología Turística, an initiative organised by the General Secretariat for Tourism.
Besides, this year the Search Marketing Expo Travel (SMX) will be held for the first time. This event consists of a series of lectures on marketing for searching tools specialised in tourism. This initiative will serve to explore the different opportunities and the future development of this sector.
This will be the 29th FITUR exhibition. In 2008, the participation rates increased, for the fact that the fair was attended by 13,530 firms from 170 different countries or regions. It received more than 255,817 participants, and 157,300 were professionals of the tourism sector. This year, the organisers believe that these rates will improve.
