Travel News Market 2024 was held at the Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre. This is a b2b (business to business) fair and is an opportunity for companies in the travel industry to meet: destinations, tour operators, tour operators, airlines, cruise companies as well as journalists and travel writers.

This year's fair had the country Oman as the main sponsor, and attracted lots of exhibitors and visitors.

Our 8th visit to the Travel News Market

The Travel News Market is usually organised in November or December, and funnily enough, it seems that we do not usually travel at this time. We have been to the all Travel News Market since it all started in 2016.

What's happening in the Travel News Market?

So, what exactly happens at the Travel News Market? Well, this is a meeting place where different companies in the travel industry can find new partners, and keep in touch with existing ones.

It's the same for us! We meet many people we already work with, while getting new ideas for destinations and making new contacts. Of course, it's also an opportunity to meet friends in the industry. It is usually a very intensive day, with both booked meetings and spontaneous encounters.

Mingle at the Travel News Market

When the meetings end at 4pm, there is usually a bit more informal hanging out. This year we were invited by the Greek Tourist Office to mingle and eat something Greek food. Both good and nice!
