TTG Travel Experience opens in Rimini with 2,800 exhibitors
The 63rd edition of the TTG Travel Experience has opened at the Rimini Expo Center, serving as a major hub for the Italian tourism sector. The event features approximately 2,800 exhibitors from 75 countries and 1,000 buyers, covering 140,000 square meters.
Various Italian regions and organizations are utilizing the platform to promote diverse tourism models. Veneto is focusing on slow and sustainable tourism through cycling and walking paths, while Marche and Calabria are showcasing cultural heritage and rural landscapes. Basilicata received the ‘Most Loved Destination by Visitors’ award, and Western Sicily was recognized for its digital tourism experience offerings.
Key industry developments include a new partnership between Trenitalia and Costa Crociere to offer integrated train-and-cruise bookings starting in 2027. Additionally, tour operator Going introduced group travel packages led by digital storytellers. Market data presented at the event indicates that while 65% of Italians vacationed domestically in Summer 2026, there is a growing trend toward short, last-minute trips.
