    Five stands worth planning around at ITB Berlin 2027

    ITB Berlin 2027 runs March 16 through 18 at Messegelände Berlin, one of Europe's largest convention and exhibition complexes. The show draws tens of thousands of travel trade professionals across segments ranging from destination tourism boards and tour operators to airlines, hotel groups, and travel-technology vendors. With multiple halls dedicated to distinct verticals, including a dedicated Airlines, Airports and Carrier segment and separate halls for Middle East destinations, a buyer without a planned route will spend more time navigating than meeting.

    Booking.com, Emirates, Radisson Hotel Group, Amadeus, and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings represent five distinct but complementary stops for a buyer whose work touches distribution, procurement, or product packaging. Taken together, they cover the full transaction chain: the platform layer where travelers search and book, the airline and hotel suppliers who fill that inventory, the technology backbone connecting them, and the cruise sector where multi-tier trade relationships are still negotiated face to face. Visiting all five in a single morning or afternoon is achievable with a clear walk order.

    Why these exhibitors

    A route built around real buyer jobs

    These five exhibitors were selected because they collectively address the jobs a mid-to-senior travel trade buyer is most likely to be working on in 2027: renegotiating OTA distribution agreements (Booking.com), evaluating premium long-haul cabin contracts and fare structures (Emirates), contracting hotel volume or planning MICE programs across a multi-brand portfolio (Radisson Hotel Group), assessing airline or hotel technology modernization and corporate booking platforms (Amadeus), and building or expanding cruise packages across multiple price tiers from a single trade relationship (Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings). No single exhibitor covers all of those jobs, which is exactly why visiting the group as a set is more efficient than treating any one stand as the destination.

    How to use this Shared Spotlight

    1. Download the hall map before you arrive Messegelände Berlin spans more than 160,000 square meters of indoor exhibition space. Pull the official ITB 2027 floor plan from itb.com the week before the show and locate each of the five exhibitors. Note which halls are adjacent so you can group visits rather than crossing the site repeatedly.
    2. Match each stand to your buyer role Each exhibitor card on this page lists the specific buyer jobs that make a stop worthwhile. Read those before you arrive and mark the two or three stands most relevant to your current procurement or planning cycle. That focus keeps meetings productive and prevents over-scheduled days.
    3. Use the suggested route to reduce backtracking The route section below proposes a walk order based on typical hall adjacency at Messegelände Berlin. Follow it as a starting point, then adjust if ITB publishes a floor plan that places exhibitors in different positions than expected.
    4. Book appointments at least two weeks out ITB exhibitors at this scale, including Amadeus, Emirates, and Radisson Hotel Group, fill their meeting calendars early. Use each company's trade portal or ITB's hosted-buyer appointment system to secure slots before the show opens. Walk-up conversations are possible but rarely result in substantive commercial discussions.

    Floor-planning tip Block a single three-hour window on March 16, the first trade day, to walk all five stands in sequence, leaving the remaining show days free for follow-up meetings and the ITB Berlin Convention sessions on e-travel and sustainability.

    TL;DR

    5 stops worth planning

    Suggested floor route

    Walk the five stands in a logical sequence

    Starting with Amadeus and Booking.com in the technology and OTA zones, then moving to Emirates in the Airlines and Carrier segment, crossing to Radisson Hotel Group in the Hotels and Hospitality halls, and finishing at Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings minimizes cross-site transit at Messegelände Berlin and keeps the walk under three hours at a steady pace.

    Frequently asked questions

    Planning this ITB Berlin 2027 route

    When and where is ITB Berlin 2027?

    ITB Berlin 2027 runs from March 16 through March 18 at Messegelände Berlin in Berlin, Germany. The venue is one of the largest exhibition complexes in Europe, with multiple halls organized by travel segment.

    Which halls should a corporate travel or hospitality buyer prioritize?

    Buyers focused on airlines and carriers should head to the Airlines, Airports and Carrier segment, which has historically been housed in Hall 25 at Messegelände Berlin. Hotel and hospitality buyers should target the Hotels and Hospitality halls. Technology vendors including Amadeus typically exhibit in the Travel Technology zone. Confirm exact hall assignments on the official ITB floor plan published at itb.com before the show opens.

    Who is this Shared Spotlight page designed for?

    This page is written for travel trade buyers, including corporate travel managers, MICE planners, tour operators, travel advisors, and hotel or airline procurement leads, who want a deliberate floor route rather than an unplanned walk. It is not aimed at leisure travelers or first-time show attendees unfamiliar with trade contracting processes.

    How do I contact the five featured exhibitors ahead of the show?

    Each of the five companies, Booking.com, Emirates, Radisson Hotel Group, Amadeus, and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, maintains a trade or partner portal where buyers can request meetings or access commercial contacts. ITB Berlin also operates a hosted-buyer appointment system that allows pre-scheduled meetings with registered exhibitors. Both channels are worth using at least two weeks before the show opens.

    Are these the only exhibitors worth visiting at ITB Berlin 2027?

    No. ITB Berlin attracts thousands of exhibitors across destination tourism boards, tour operators, technology vendors, and supplier categories not represented in this guide. This Shared Spotlight covers five companies that paid for placement on this page and that collectively address a specific set of buyer jobs. Buyers should use the official ITB exhibitor directory to build a complete visit list beyond these five stands.
