3rd ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL TOURISM FAIR IN MADAGASCAR (ITM)
In 2014, the 3rd Annual International Tourism Fair in Madagascar (ITM) marks a milestone as the fair will be in a better position than last year because of the return of the constitutional order within the Malagasy government, which will be noted by international tour operators who are guests at the show.
The gradual return of growth within key source markets of Europe could also improve the year in tourism for Madagascar. ITM 2014 hopes to be a place for the revival of Malagasy tourism through exchanging and sharing ideas with all tourism stakeholders in order to forge a common vision of tourism for the coming years.
In addition, the International Tourism Fair Madagascar 2014 will mark its roots in the “Vanilla Islands”, having the ITM 2014 welcome for the first time a handover ceremony between the former and the new President of the Vanilla Islands.
In this edition, the ITM 2014 will especially value the National Parks in Madagascar, which are another advantage to visiting Madagascar, through their uniqueness and rich biodiversity.
We thank our organizing partner, MADAVISION, as well as all those recurring exhibitors, for including the fair in their marketing strategy and proving that the ITM in 2014 will prove tourism as an essential part of the development of Madagascar.
