On the first two days, ITB Asia – the three-day annual trade show – will conduct sessions from exceptional leaders and visionaries from Ctrip, Airbnb, Agoda, Expedia, Tunia, TripAdvisor, Uber, Venture Republic Global and MakeMyTrip.

Since the market as a whole is ever changing and dynamic, anticipating development trends of the global travel industry is a must! Keeping this in mind, GfK– a market research agency, will hold a session on how delegates can avail the best opportunities through the online and offline medium, thereby communicating frequently with the consumers and increase their profits. The cracking panel session will have experts from InterContinental Hotels Group, Marriott, Starwood and Travelodge talk in detail about the current and emerging industry trends.
