IFTM Paris 2026: a major event for tourism professionals
The IFTM Paris trade fair is one of France’s leading tourism events. Every year, it brings together industry professionals with a shared goal: to network, discuss market trends and forge new partnerships.
The 2026 edition will take place from 15 to 17 September at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. Over the course of these three days, travel agencies, tour operators, coach operators, tourist destinations, accommodation providers and service providers will come together to showcase their offerings and plan the holidays of the future.
For group tour operators, this trade fair offers a valuable opportunity to identify reliable partners and plan future tours or stopovers in France. These face-to-face meetings also provide a better understanding of the needs of each type of group, whether they are tourist, school, club or business groups.
A special opportunity to discuss your group projects
The IFTM trade fair provides the perfect setting for discussing your group holiday plans face-to-face. While you’re there, you’ll have the chance to chat with our team and tell us what you need: whether you’re organising a sightseeing tour, planning a stopover for coach operators, or putting together a holiday for a club or association.
These meetings often enable you to make concrete progress in organising a trip. You can discuss your plans, ask questions and identify accommodation options that suit your itinerary. Whether you’re planning a school trip, a club holiday, a business trip or a holiday with friends, this discussion will help you find hotels that are experienced in hosting groups and equipped to meet the needs of such guests.
