Travel around the world in a day – this opportunity is offered this year by the largest tourism fair in the world held in Berlin from 5 to 9 March 2014, where Macedonia presented its tourist offer.
International Tourism Exchange ITB again this year is a forum for presentation of 180 countries and approximately 11,000 exhibitors in the field of tourism. Tour operators, agencies, hotels, airlines, booking systems offer their complete tourist offer. Macedonia traditionally presents its offers at this fair, organized by the Agency for Promotion and Support of Tourism (ALMP).
-ITB Tourism Fair is a fair where each country that pays attention to the development of tourism as an economic sector must be represented. The very participation of 180 countries fair offers a glimpse into the world tourist offer, a great opportunity to make contacts in one place that would otherwise be scattered across the world, to see new things and what has been done and still can be done. Macedonia’s attendance at such fairs is more than necessary because it is a good opportunity for a general presentation of the country. This year we have offered a beautiful and diverse postcard for our country at the largest tourism fair in the world, held from 5 to 9 March in Berlin, Ambassador of the Republic of Macedonia to Berlin, Kornelija Utevska Gligorovska said.
