In its 31st edition, the International Tourism Fair in Spain, held annually at the Institución Ferial de Madrid (IFEMA), will last five days during which the ten pavilions prepared for the event will gather professionals of the tourism industry and will hold exhibitions, conferences and meetings.

It is anticipated that this year, the fair will receive around 200,000 visitors and have the presence of 10,500 companies from 166 countries, among which are -for the first time- the Republic of Congo, Pakistan, New Zealand, Lebanon and South Africa.
