UKRAINIAN TRAVEL FORUM 2011 (autumn)

Dear participants, visitors, partners and media representatives!

We are glad to inform you that we have started the preparations to the VII Ukrainian Travel Forum 2011 (autumn) international tourist exhibition, which will take place on the 6th to 8th of October 2011 at one of Kiev's largest and most prestigious exhibition venues - KievExpoPlaza at 2b, Salyutna Str.


The Ukrainian Travel Forum (UTF) is one of Ukraine's largest tourist exhibitions, which is a bi-annual event that puts together at the same venue a huge number of participants and visitors representing many countries of the world. The UTF is organised by the Association of Ukraine's Leading Tourist Businesses (ALTU) and the exhibition company ALTU-EXPO.

What makes the UTF exhibition special is that it has proven itself as a venue for business communication between tourism professionals (the share of B2B visitors to the Business Zone of the event is about 90%). The exhibition will feature more than 600 hours of training sessions, conferences, seminars, forums and workshops, as well as presentations of new destinations and services. The tourism market has established the tradition of using this event as an effective platform for networking between tourism professionals, using the opportunities offered by the forum for setting up business alliances, sharing of experience, conducting meetings, negotiations and improving the level of professionalism of staff employed in the industry.

In 2011, the UTF (spring) saw for the first time the introduction of the B2C expanded format, which attracted end users (tourists) to the event. This innovation was endorsed by many tour operators, as now they can optimise costs for promoting their services within the same exhibition, represent their products in the most efficient manner on a single venue and obtain complete first-hand information about the on-going changes in the demand and supply within the industry.

We are especially proud of the scope of our exhibition. In the spring of 2011, the total area occupied by the displays was approximately 10,000 square metres, a 50% increase on the area they occupied in the autumn before. Increasing area of the exhibition has helped significantly expand the range of opportunities offered to the participants, allowing them not only to announce their new and exciting tours, prices and destinations, but also make direct sales of their products at the Tours Fair.
Particular mention needs to go to the number of countries represented at the exhibition - the UTF 2011 (spring) registered over 15,000 participants, including many from a number of countries other than Ukraine: Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Spain, Moldova, Thailand, Turkey, Finland, Montenegro, Egypt, India, United Arab Emirates, Italy, Dominican Republic, etc.

The UTF 2011 (autumn) will take place on the 6th to 8th of October 2011 and will feature two zones: a B2B Business Zone for tourism professionals and a B2C Image Zone for end clients - i.e. tourists.
We invite you to take part in the UTF 2011 (autumn) and use our exhibition as a multi-purpose venue to advertise and sell your products and services, expand your professional contacts, improve recognisability of your brand and increase your profits. The leading tourism companies come to the exhibition to shape the professional environment for the development of their businesses, this is the place to enter into contracts and plan your work for the coming year. Join the leaders!



ATTENTION! ACCESS FOR VISITORS (TOURISM PROFESSIONALS) TO THE B2B BUSINESS ZONE AND THE B2C IMAGE ZONE DURING THE UTF 2011 (autumn) EVENT will only be granted to those who have registered on-line or in the registration zone using their visitor cards.
