HONG KONG, 1 April 2025: Hong Kong\u2019s international travel fair, ITE Hong Kong 2025, which comprises the 39th<\/sup> ITE (Leisure) and 20th ITE MICE, will be held from 12 to 15 June, with two days each for trade and public visitors in Halls 1A to 1E of the Hong Kong Convention Exhibition Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hong Kong’s outbound independent travel market fully recovered by the end of 2024, while the package tour recovery remains off the pre-Covid pace. Local tour operators are confident that the 39th<\/sup> ITE will be an essential platform to drive bookings and close the gap with independent travel trends in the Hong Kong market. The show’s public visitors are 90% premium FITs.<\/p>\n\n\n
