When America sneezes, it seems that the rest of the world catches a cold... But one of the few markets that has remained intact is Russia.
Its outbound tourism market grew 17 percent in 2007, making it the ninth largest outbound market in the world, and initial findings for 2008 report strong growth. By 2010, Russia is set to overtake Germany.
One of the most effect ways to explor Russia’s travel trade is by attending Moscow International Travel & Tourism (MITT). The country’s largest and most important travel trade event, MITT attracts over 92,000 buyers from across Russia and is ranked among the world’s top five travel and tourism exhibitions.
The 16th MITT takes place at the Expo Center in Moscow, March 18-21 2009, and will feature more than 3,000 exhibitors, drawn from 118 countries/regions. More than 70 national/regional tourism boards will be participating, and new destinations include Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Macao, Japan and Hainan. Meanwhile Indonesia and Sri Lanka have increased their stands dramatically as the arrivals from Russia grow every year. Four days later, March 25-27, Ukraine International Travel & Tourism, UITT, takes place at the IEC Kiev.
This year also marks the start of a new partnership between Dubai and the leading travel trade exhibitions in Russia.
The partnership will complement Dubai’s promotional activities in outbound markets of Russia and Ukraine. These two countries contributed almost one third of a million tourists to Dubai in 2007 and both markets continue to grow.
