Hosted buyer program

Meet the right suppliers, on the ground

Tour operators and travel buyers join our events as our guests: one-to-one meetings with destinations, hotels and DMCs, the trade fair itself and FAM trips that let you see the product before you sell it.

Every application is reviewed individually.

What you get

One program, everything you need to do business

Each event is planned around your meetings, so the time you spend away from the office turns into contracts.

Pre-scheduled meetings

One-to-one appointments with suppliers that match the markets and products you work with.

Hosting support

Depending on the event, support can include accommodation, transfers and, in some programs, flights.

Event access

Entry to the fair, conference sessions and destination presentations.

FAM trips

Optional trips before or after the event to see hotels, sights and local partners.

Networking

Welcome receptions, dinners and social events with buyers and suppliers.

Your event area

Passport, flights, documents and your programme in one place in your member panel.

What is covered differs by event. The hosting package is set for each event and each buyer after we review your application. You will see the exact details before you confirm anything.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer? Write to us and our team will help you.

Is the hosted buyer program free?

It depends on the event and on your profile. Some buyers are fully hosted, others join with a participation package. The terms are shared with you after your application is reviewed.

Are flights included?

Flight support is offered in some programs and for some buyers. The event page and your application review show what applies to you.

Who can apply?

Decision makers at tour operators, travel agencies, MICE agencies, DMCs and other companies that buy travel products. Every application is reviewed individually.

Can colleagues from my company join?

Yes. You can add colleagues as delegates in your company profile and include them in your application; places are confirmed per event.

Can I join a FAM trip?

Most events offer FAM trips before or after the main program. You can choose one while applying.

Do you help with visas?

After your participation is confirmed, you can print a digital invitation letter from your panel for your visa application. Obtaining the visa remains your responsibility; we cannot guarantee it.
