Although the doors are open to both industry insiders and the public, only roughly 50,000 accounts for end consumers. That’s also not mentioning the ITB Buyers Circle, which has brought 1000 qualified buyers to the top of their industry. These numbers alone should excite you about the opportunity to exhibit at ITB Berlin.
