The most popular travel fair in the Asia-Pacific region and Taiwan’s largest travel product exhibition and sales fair, the Taipei International Travel Fair (Taipei ITF 2014), will be held from November 7 to 10 at TWTC’s Hall 1, area H on the 2^nd floor of Hall 1, and Hall 3. Successful media promotion and event planning allowed the ITF 2013 to attract over 315,000 visitors over its four days and transactions totaled over NT$1.5 billion; ITF 2013 also featured in more than 3,000 media reports in Taiwan and overseas, creating more business opportunities for exhibitors.

With the aims of widening the international vision of the tourism industry and building a high-quality exchange platform, exhibitors are strictly vetted by the ITF’s organizers before the fair is held and product/service quality is followed up after it ends. Over 28 years, the objective has remained the same: bringing the world to Taiwan and taking Taiwan to the world. During the ITF, visitors are provided with the latest travel information, given a taste of exotic culture, and they can take advantage of accommodation and food discounts and other special offers. People who love to travel can collect all the latest information about domestic and overseas travel they need to allow them to arrange a full year’s leisure activities and vacations.

Taiwan has rich travel resources and its people love to travel. Taiwan Tourism Bureau, MOTC, figures show that in 2013 around 10 million Taiwanese people traveled overseas. The high quality and spending power of these Taiwanese tourists has made Taiwan a tourist export market that importance is attached to internationally. Every year, more than 60 countries take part in the ITF, effectively raising their international profile and attracting visitors, making the ITF a major annual exhibition that cannot be missed by domestic and overseas tourism industry operators.

Online registration for ITF 2014 will open on March 1. Tourism-related units in Taiwan and overseas are welcome to register. Registration opens on March 1 and can only be done online through the official website (www.taipeiitf.org.tw).

To allow a high-quality exhibition platform to be provided, when registering exhibitors are required to provide the following documents for preliminary examination. This year, registration will be paper-free so we can help protect the environment and love the earth together.
