Update
The new official dates for Abf's latest edition are February 11th to 15th, 2026 in Messe Hannover.
Abf – A Brief Introduction
Abf is the perfect event for you to learn the newest trends in the world of travel, sports, and camping and increase your visibility among professional visitors and end consumers. Germany has one of the best-developed travel and camping cultures in Europe, so Abf gives you access to an enthusiastic audience. Attendance is in the tens of thousands, and the last edition almost hit 92,000 visitors in total. In comparison, there were only about 700 exhibitors at the exhibition centre. That is more than enough to do some market research, study competitors and sell your products and services.
An Industry Profile
There are five zones at Abf – travel and holiday, bicycle and outdoor, caravanning and camping, auto and accessories, active and fit. Altogether, they cover the entire value chain for the travel and leisure time sector. You have access to travel destinations and packages, as well as equipment and accessories for you and your car. Product groups include motor vehicles, caravans, bicycles, sports and fitness equipment, e-bike cargo bikes, BMX, e-skateboards, hoverboards and e-scooters.

Working with Michelle from Travel to Fairs is pure pleasure. We had the opportunity to cooperate on several trips to the fair and all the hotels in which we had reservations met our expectations. We feel well taken care of and we will definitely use their services in the future.

Hi Jack,
The vicinity of the hotel was excellent and the people were friendly enough and the room was clean.
I did miss no air conditioning and there was only 1 power point which was nowhere near the desk which seemed strange.
The service from Jack was perfect and he kept me informed all the way so if I come across again I will use you guys again.

Our trip to the EMO Hanover fair was successful, overall it was a great trip with lots to see and do in Hanover.
We were very satisfied with the accommodation, although we were initially looking for a hotel, we actually preferred the apartment accommodation to that of a hotel.
The service we received from Jane was GREAT.
From the moment Anton sent the request for accommodation, we received a number of accommodation options within our price range.
We have received prompt detailed responses to all the questions we had.
The payment process was simple and easy.
The location of the accommodation was perfect, a nice quiet neighbourhood with easy access to trains for transport and a number of restaurants within walking distance.
I will definitely recommend Travel To Fairs to anyone looking for accommodation when travelling abroad to attend Trade shows.

This hotel was in a great location, very close to the main train station.
There are tons of restaurants and sight seeing opportunities within walking/biking distance. The value/price was much better than the hotel I stayed at 4 years ago when I attended the Ligna show.

Dear Tom,
I hope you are doing well.
Thank you for your message.
We were very satisfied with the STAYERY Frankfurt Sachsenhausen. The rooms were great and the location worked very well for us. It took us around 20 minutes by car to reach CPHI in the morning, which was perfect.
The only very small downside is that our rooms were not all located close to each other – only 2 out of 4 colleagues had rooms next to each other. This is not a major issue at all, more of a small detail, but I am mentioning it as feedback.
I will try to complete the questionnaire later today.
Regarding your question about preliminary rates for next year, as far as we know, the 2026 edition of CPHI will be held in Milan, not in Frankfurt – which is why I am not sure I fully understand the proposal to review hotel rates for the same hotel next year. Could you clarify this point?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Constance Vigne

Morning Tom,
Many thanks. The B&B Hotel was very nice actually. Fairly basic, but perfect for business travel. Clean, efficient and helpful staff, and a decent location overall.
Many thanks for your help.
Best,

Dear Tom, Dear Tess,
Thank you for your service, all went well. The only remark is that the hotel does not dispose of many parking slots, so we might reconsider it for next year.
Thanks
Best regards,
