Berlin, Once Again the World’s Travel Capital

As the doors open this week at Messe Berlin, the familiar early‑March ritual returns: thousands of travel professionals converging on the German capital for ITB Berlin, the world’s leading travel trade show. This year’s edition feels especially charged. ITB Berlin 2026 not only marks the fair’s 60th anniversary, but arrives at a moment when global travel is buoyant yet uneasy—growing strongly, while navigating geopolitical tension, technological disruption and a renewed debate about tourism’s role in the world.
For three days, from 3–5 March, Berlin becomes a microcosm of the travel industry at large: hopeful, innovative and pragmatic in equal measure.
Breaking Travel News and its team will be there across all three days covering the latest stories as they happen and conducting live interviews across every sector.
