Frequently Asked Questions - Travel Exhibitions/Shows and More


Q: How many editions does a show need to have had before being able to apply for membership?

A: Following new statutes to encourage new and growing shows, applicants only need to have been running one year.  However applications are considered against set criteria and only shows meeting this criteria will be offered membership.  70% of members must also vote in favour of entry.


Q:

What kind of support can you offer my show?

A:

ITTFA has a broad membership of shows, some with decades of experience. Our Chairman, Tom Nutley, is also extremely knowledgeable in the area of travel trade shows, having headed Reed’s travel division for many years and being instrumental in setting up some of the best trade shows across the globe.  All of this expertise is available as our members can offer support and advice to fellow member shows. More recently, we have encouraged our members to cooperate with each other by offering mutually beneficial barter offers, such as an advert in each others catalogue. The Association also provides marketing and PR support for all its shows through its website, show representation and various marketing materials.


Q: Which benefits do current members feel are the most important?

A: Following recent feedback from members, the most important benefit is the exposure offered via the ITTFA stand at each of our member shows and the opportunity to have access to and use of a stand at no cost.  The other very important benefit noted by members is the PR support provided by the Secretariat which sends out regular press releases and industry comment to the Association's media partners and the global travel media in general.
