The international tourism exhibition ITB Berlin 2015 is going to be organized in Berlin, Germany, from March 3-8.

ITB is the biggest annual event in the international tourism sector. More than 10,000 companies from 180 countries participate in this event, advertising their products and services, and almost 100,000 people visiting the event to see the exhibitors. 

About 60,000 tourists and more than 8,000 journalists and media outlets are expected to attend ITB this year.

Mongolia is partnering with ITB Berlin this year, and has participated in the exhibition each year since 2000. In 2015 Mongolia is going to participate in ITB with a featured status, as it's single partner country.

The featured status allows Mongolia to be introduced to the world from this important stage, and offers a chance to participate in international and national business and social events. It is a unique chance to attract a larger number of tourists to Mongolia.

Featured status at ITB Berlin 2015 as the official partner country gives Mongolia a chance to organize and engage in the following activities:

– the official opening ceremony of the exhibition for more than 178,000 attendees

– organizing a meeting, gala concert, and reception introducing Mongolian culture and tradition to more than 3,600 international VIP guests. 

– establish strategic partnerships with international tourism associations and other professional associations  

– participate in industry meetings and cultural events

– disseminate published materials and catalogs about Mongolia

As an exhibitor, on behalf of the Mongolian government, the Ministry of Nature and Environment, more than Mongolian 18 tour operators, and the Ulaanbaatar City Tourism Board will participate in the exhibition.
