Entering its 25th year (19th edition), in addition to occupying all exhibition space in Hall 1, it will also feature exhibition space in Hall 3 for the first time. The number of exhibition booths has increased from 1,200 last year to 1,500, setting a record for the largest scale in the history of Taiwan’s travel fairs.

Last year’s Taipei International Travel Fair featured participants from 60 countries/regions and 530 organizations/companies, with 1,200 exhibition booths attracting 214,467 visitors and achieving sales performance of NT$1.39 billion. This year, to provide better exhibition space and a more enjoyable visiting experience, the fair has expanded to both Halls 1 and 3 of the World Trade Center. Hall 1 is designated as the Comprehensive Travel Zone, featuring international participants, city and county exhibits, travel agencies, and related tourism services. Hall 3 is themed as the Hotel/Leisure Inn Pavilion, showcasing five-star hotels, leisure inns, homestays, and more. Both halls feature a central large stage for exhibitors to hold various events or performances.
