The international tourism exhibition has become the most representative event of the season for professionals in the tourist industry of Ukraine and abroad. Every year UITM brings together companies and national tourist offices that present a variety of tourist destinations, covering the possible routes for travel to almost the entire planet. For 24 years the UITM has deservedly recognized the international tourist community. This is also confirmed by the geography of the participants of the event, which expands with each passing year.

Participation in the event was confirmed by 28 countries, including companies from: Azerbaijan, Brazil, Georgia, India, Italy, China, Lithuania, Peru, Maldives, Mexico, Slovakia, USA, Ukraine, France, Czech Republic, Ecuador and other countries.

Participants of the exhibition will introduce the specialists of the branch with the tourist destinations of the new autumn-winter season and present new products and opportunities of the modern tourist world in the framework of seminars.

Particular attention deserves a new format of the exposition of cities and regions of our country "Fair of tourist destinations of Ukraine", which will give an opportunity to present as much as possible the tourist features of its region / city (folklore, works of art, historical monuments, gastronomic raisins, etc.).

Exhibition also focuses on the promotion of inbound and outbound tourism. Many companies come to UITM to "open Ukraine", which creates broad prospects for the development of the tourism industry in our country. The event is an effective tool for establishing partnerships between Ukrainian and international companies, attracting investments, entering new markets, exchanging experience and presenting new tourist routes. Thanks to UITM, international partners learn about the unique cultural and historical heritage of Ukraine. The exhibition is always supported by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the Committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Family, Youth Policy, Sport and Tourism, the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine, and this year also the National Tourism Organisation.

For convenience of visitors and participants of the event the organisers have developed a special mobile application UITM, using of which allows you to spend the most comfortable and productive time, get acquainted with the business program, plan meetings and find out all the latest news. In addition, this year it will be possible to use the special "Go to UITM" service, which was created to find fellow travelers for the exhibition in order to ease the logistics costs of participants and visitors.
