The Virtual Travel Fair Asia brought together 60 exhibitors from Bavaria, Tyrol and Salzburg with Asian travel professionals.
In collaboration with AVIAREPS, the Jewels of Romantic Europe hosted a virtual event to connect the Asian travel industry with the unique destinations in Bavaria, Tyrol and Salzburg. The event took place on March 18 and 19 and welcomed hundreds of travel professionals from twelve Asian countries, including China, Japan, India, Indonesia and the Philippines.
“By nature, the tourism industry is a global one, but since the pandemic hit the world more than a year ago, we have had to rethink the way we connect with our business partners in other markets. A virtual event from AVIAREPS was the perfect solution for us to strengthen our relationships in the Asian market and provide the inspiration and product planning support our partners need. We are thrilled with the organization and the results.”
