FITUR 2022 regains momentum and focuses on tourism recovery

Saturday, November 20, 2021

FITUR 2022 will be here from January 19 to 23, organised by IFEMA MADRID, under the slogan “Embracing the World” and will feature the Dominican Republic as a FITUR partner country. 

After the milestone of FITUR 2021, in its “Special Tourism Recovery” edition, and backed by the entire value chain of the international tourism industry, the FITUR travel trade fair dedicates all of its effort to its essential mission, to contribute to the recovery of tourism.

This is proven by the 53% growth already recorded for the next edition, compared to the 2021 edition, and the forecast is that it will continue to increase, at a pre-pandemic rate of participation that will strengthen the role of FITUR as the world’s leading trade fair.

The representation of the Spanish tourism industry is already confirmed at its highest level, in terms of Autonomous Communities and Cities, and also very positively in terms of companies, to which must be added the growth of official international participation, which stands,2 months before the event, at over 70% compared to the results of FITUR 2020 and represents a growth of 240% compared to the May 2021 edition.  

Thus, FITUR 2022, in alignment with elements such as the gradual normalisation of tourism activities and the backing by the Government in declaring it as an Event of Exceptional Public Interest, as well as the significant backing from institutions, countries and destinations, hotel chains, travel agencies and tour operators, technological companies, suppliers, transportation and, in general, from the entire tourism value chain, will once again place all of its resources at the service of the industry in its main mission to contribute to speeding up tourism recovery and helping the industry to grow.

Along with the worldwide promotion provided by FITUR, the event continues to develop its professionalisation and specialisation strategy by focusing on the various segments that drive the tourism market, with its sections FITURTECHY; FITUR KNOW HOW & EXPORT, FITUR MICE; FITUR HEALTH; FITUR ENTERTAINMENT; FITUR TALENT; FITUR LGBT+; FITUR LINGUA and FITUR  WOMAN, as well as B2B events and activities programs that showcase some of the future key points and challenges, with special emphasis on the digital transition, technological progress and sustainable development. Alongside these sections, the FITURNEXT Observatory is dedicated this year to boosting good tourism practises regarding accessibility.
