ITB Berlin

Covid-19 Update

Due to the pandemic situation in Germany, ITB Berlin's next physical edition will take place in 2023. The event will take place between 07.03.2023 and 09.03.2023. Messe Berlin GmbH is preparing to jumpstart the travel industry in a climate shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic. ITB Berlin 2023 will mark an important return to in-person trade shows, which are still incredibly relevant as driving forces of sales and market trends. The stands will be arranged based on the geographic destination the company represents. The ITB Berlin Convention will take place as a coinciding event. Attendees should note that they will not be required to present 3G admission documents upon arrival in Germany. Yet, if their departure country is in a virus area of concern, they will have to quarantine for 14 days. At present, there are no countries with such a designation.
