A practical guide for anyone planning to attend TTG Travel Experience in Rimini

For three days each October, Rimini becomes the meeting point for the global tourism industry. Tourism boards, tour operators, travel agencies, airlines, hotels and travel technology companies come together at TTG Travel Experience to strike deals, launch products and plan the season ahead. If you work in travel and you are thinking about attending, a little planning turns a busy, crowded fair into a genuinely productive few days.

This guide brings the practical information into one place. It covers what the event is, the confirmed dates and venue, how tickets and buyer registration work, how to reach the fairground and how to make your time there count. It also tells you where to find the ZentrumHub team, since we will be exhibiting and would be glad to meet you.

What Is TTG Travel Experience?

TTG Travel Experience is Italy’s leading B2B tourism trade fair and one of the most important travel events in the Mediterranean. Organised by the Italian Exhibition Group, the TTG Travel Experience runs every year at the Rimini Expo Centre and serves as a marketplace where the Italian and international tourism industries meet to do business. It is strictly a trade event, open to industry professionals rather than the general public, which is what makes it such an efficient place to find partners and suppliers.

The scale is significant. A recent edition gathered around 2,500 brands and 40,000 professionals, with representatives from more than 55 international destinations spread across 26 exhibition halls. Alongside the main fair, TTG runs co-located events including InOut, focused on hospitality contract and design, plus TTG Next, which spotlights promising travel startups, so a single visit gives you access to destinations, hotels, technology and the wider hospitality supply chain in one place.

Dates, Venue and Opening Hours

Here are the essential facts for planning your visit, all in one table.

Because the fair spans three full days and 26 halls, most visitors find it worth arriving with a plan rather than wandering. Note the earlier close on the final day, when the exhibition wraps up at 17:30, then build your most important meetings into the first two days when the halls are busiest.

Tickets and How to Register

Admission to TTG Travel Experience is reserved for travel industry professionals, so entry is not sold to the general public. To attend as a visitor, you register online in the event’s reserved area, confirm your professional status and request your entry ticket, which you then save to your phone or print to show at the entrance. Registering in advance is well worth doing, since it saves time at the door and the online process is the way to secure your pass.

Ticket options and prices are published on the official TTG website, where the prices shown apply to online purchases. If your reason for attending is to meet suppliers and sign deals rather than simply to browse, it is worth checking whether you qualify for the buyer programme described below, which offers a more structured way to spend your time. Whatever pass you choose, complete your registration early so your professional accreditation is confirmed before you travel.

Attending as a Buyer: the Meet&Match Programme

TTG runs a dedicated buyer programme designed to match qualified buyers with relevant exhibitors, making it one of the most efficient ways to attend. By registering as a buyer, you gain access to a structured meetings programme that helps you plan targeted appointments with high-profile exhibitors, rather than relying on chance encounters as you walk the halls. Buyer registrations open on the official website ahead of the event.

A signature part of the buyer experience is the Meet&Match speed-dating session, held on the morning of the first day in a dedicated area of the fairground. Each buyer sits at their own personalised desk, while interested exhibitors come to them for short meetings of around ten minutes each, with no pre-scheduled slots. Keeping to that ten-minute limit is what preserves the fast, high-volume character of the session, while a cafeteria service is available in the Meet&Match area to keep you going. For a buyer, it is a remarkably concentrated way to meet many potential suppliers in a single morning.

Attending as an Exhibitor

For companies exhibiting, TTG is a chance to put your brand in front of a large, qualified audience of travel professionals in a concentrated three days. Exhibitors range from tourism boards and hotel groups to airlines, destination management companies and travel technology providers, while the official site publishes an exhibitor list and full participation information for those taking a stand. If you are weighing whether to exhibit, the combination of scale, the buyer programme and the co-located events makes it one of the most complete tourism trade platforms in the region.

As a travel technology exhibitor ourselves, our experience is that the value comes from preparation. Booking meetings in advance, having a clear reason for visitors to stop at your stand and following up quickly afterwards turn a busy fair into real pipeline. That is exactly why we open our calendar before the event and encourage anyone planning to attend to reserve a time with us rather than hoping to catch us between conversations.

How to Get to Rimini Expo Centre

The Rimini Expo Centre sits on Via Emilia, a little outside the city centre, but it is well connected during the event. The most convenient option is the train, since the Riminifiera station is right beside the South entrance and operates during the fair. From Rimini’s main station you can also take a direct bus to the fairground, while the wider Romagna area offers smart travel passes that cover local buses and trains for the duration of the event.

If you are flying in, the nearest airports serve Rimini and the surrounding region, with Bologna a common gateway and a shuttle option to the fair. Two practical tips are worth repeating. Book your accommodation early, because Rimini fills up quickly during TTG and many hotels offer fair-related packages. Favour public transport over driving to avoid the queues and parking pressure around the venue at peak times.

Meet ZentrumHub at Stand C4-104

ZentrumHub will be exhibiting at TTG Travel Experience at Stand C4-104, so we would be glad to meet you there. We help online travel agencies, B2B distributors, tour operators and hotel wholesalers connect to hotel inventory through a single universal hotel API, reaching more than 100 suppliers and a large deduplicated hotel catalogue from one integration. If you are building a booking site, our booking engine and B2B travel portal can put you live quickly. If you are looking to add supply, launch a booking platform or improve the technology behind your hotel business, a short conversation at the stand is the fastest way to see whether we can help.

Trade fairs get busy, so the surest way to guarantee time with us is to book a slot in advance. You can reserve a meeting through our TTG meeting page or simply book a time with our team, so we will make sure someone who can answer your specific questions is ready when you arrive. If you would rather just drop by, you are very welcome at Stand C4-104 across all three days.
