About the event

Workshop Travelshop, powered by Travelshop Turkey, has organised tourism workshops, conferences, exhibitions, B2B events and FAM trips in Türkiye and around the world since 1990. In 2027 we bring the International Tourism Summit – Asia to Tokyo, from 13 to 17 September.

The summit welcomes tourism leaders and speakers, destination representatives, associations, airlines, hotels, tour operators, travel agencies, MICE professionals, hosted buyers and exhibitors from Asia and other global markets. Conference sessions cover tourism trends in Asia, sustainable tourism, digital transformation, changing traveller expectations, destination marketing and new business opportunities.

Before you arrive, you review company profiles and plan your B2B meetings in our online pre-appointment system. The programme also includes guided days in Tokyo and Yokohama, and you can extend your trip with one of our Japan FAM tours: Hokkaido and Hakone, the classic route from Mt.
