Last Thursday, the major travel industry fair Travel News Market 2019 offered an intense day of exhibitors, events and mingling. We also held a lecture, so for us this was a really intense day. Here we offer some mingle pictures from the day!

Travel News Market travel fair
Travel News Market is a trade fair for travel industry professionals, and this year it was organised for the fourth year in a row. When I scrolled back through the blog, I could see that we had actually been there. all times the fair has been organised:
- Travel News Market 2016 - travel fair and party
- Travel News Market 2017 and industry party at Café Opera
- Travel News Market 2018 - the meeting place for the travel industry
The fair brings together tourist agencies, tour operators, airlines, hotels, travel journalists, travel bloggers and many others in the industry. The fair is organised by Travel News magazine, which describes itself as Sweden's largest business site for the travel industry.
Travel News Market 2019
This year's fair, Travel News Market 2019, was held at the Stockholm Waterfront on Thursday 7 November. When the fair opened its doors in the morning, Peter was immediately on site for a scheduled meeting with the region of Saxony-Anhalt in Germany. He then spent the morning mingling with all the exhibitors. There were conversations with representatives from Slovakia, Belgium, Estonia and many others.
Lecture on the Czech Republic
Between 12-13, the Czech Tourist Board organised a lunch event with a sandwich and speakers, in one of Stockholm Waterfront's conference rooms. We had been asked to talk about our travels and experiences in the Czech Republic. Fun!
We chose to highlight some of our favourite places in both the eastern and western parts of the country. As we were speaking, we didn't have time to think about photos, so the photo below is from the Czech Republic's stand at the fair...
Mingle at the Travel News Market 2019
In the afternoon, more and more people joined us, and we could hardly take a step forward until we met friends and acquaintances from all over the country. Soooo much fun! In the photos below you see, among other things, the happy sisters Magdalena and Pernilla from the travel blog. Travelsis.
You will also see Annika and Daniel Majak living in a camper van, blogging at Finally Lost who is also a frequent contributor to My Motorhome magazine.
The picture below shows Ann-Louise who blogs at From City to Beach and Sandra who blogs at Permanent residence. Sandra often travels with her family, but has just returned from a solo diving trip to Oman. Cool!
Chocolate, beer and wine tastings
During the day, several exhibitors organised chocolate, beer or wine tastings. In the late afternoon, many people gathered around the German Tourist Board, the main sponsor of the fair, to taste German wines.
After party at Casino Cosmopol?
The evening would end with a party at Casino Cosmopol, and everyone who had registered had received a generous offer of a buffet dinner and three drinks for SEK 150. Unfortunately, the tickets ran out in a flash and we who had not been quick enough to press the button were offered to go in later in the evening, if anyone went out. Then we would have to pay SEK 60 and then nothing would be included.
No, that didn't sound appealing... Instead, we went for a beer and some snacks at Cloud Nine on Torsgatan, with Christian from Food and travel blog and Sandra from Lifsresor. After all, it was a really nice end to a fun and rewarding day!

Fun! Missed it this year as I am in Spain. Also heard from those I work for and with that it was a successful day. I have been there before and this "event" is always nice. Of course, it would also have been fun to listen to your lecture.

A really fun post! There were so many people there. Really fun that this event has become such a success.
Oh the "AW food" looked heavenly good. It was probably more fun at Cloud Nine than at Casino Cosmopol;-)

Helena says:
Glad you liked it! And yes, the food at Cloud Nine is good! The only catch is that they are small dishes and they are quite expensive, so you have to choose carefully ... 😉.

What about the news? Travel NEWS.....

Helena says:
Karin, Travel News Market is probably called the event mostly because it is the magazine Travel News that organises it ... But some news was presented, and we will write about them tomorrow. And after that it's Monday, and then it's travel news here 🙂.
