IFTM TOP RESA PARIS
CELEBRATES 40 YEARS
Indonesia comes under the spotlight as country of honour
at this year’s show
IFTM Top Resa, the leading
global event for the travel
industry held in Paris,
celebrates, in 2018, its
40 th edition.
An event offering multiple
target markets: leisure, business,
mice and group tourism, IFTM
Top Resa, is set to welcome
over 30,000 professionals, key
industry buyers, journalists,
digital influencers, students and
tourism Ministers who come
to meet the 1680 exhibitors,
(destinations and tourism offices,
airlines companies, hotels,
technology and starts-up firms,
etc.).
Each year, the show’s content is
enhanced to create a platform
to drive growth for exhibitors,
offering all visitors a platform for
doing business, networking and
sharing expertise.
WONDERFUL INDONESIA “COUNTRY OF HONOUR”
For the first time in its history, IFTM Top
Resa will give centre stage to one of the
destinations exhibiting at the event through
a new “Country of Honour” title. The aim of
the initiative is to shine an extra spotlight a
selected exhibitor. Wonderful Indonesia thus
becomes a major partner of IFTM Top Resa and
will benefit from strong visibility and promotion
in all communication tools and at main events
before, during and after the show.
In addition to their presence at two panel
discussions led by a representative from
Indonesia, special training sessions will also be
held for travel agents. Wonderful Indonesia
will have a stand in the zone dedicated to Asia
and will share its exhibition area with partners
including regional tourist offices, hotels, travel
agencies, tour operators and DMCs.
Frédéric Lorin, Head of Tourism at Reed
Expositions France said, “Wonderful Indonesia
is an important and loyal partner of IFTM Top
Resa. We are pleased and proud that this
destination is the first ‘Country of Honour’ and
that it has chosen our event to raise its profile
in France.”
Eka Moncarre, Manager of the Indonesia
Tourism Office in France, commented, “IFTM
Top Resa is France’s leading professional event
for the tourism industry. It is the essential key
trade show for reaching and meeting purchasers
and the media. The ‘Country of Honour’ title
gives us superb and unique visibility to promote
our destination and partners and to showcase
Indonesia’s merits as a destination. Tourism
is a major focus for our country’s economic
development. With the opening of our tourism
office in Paris in 2016, we demonstrated our
wish to welcome more French tourists. We are
certain this partnership will bring us closer to
our goals”
