As the longest-running tourism exhibition in China, GITF is rooted in Guangzhou and has always been the preferred platform for global tourism enterprises to enter South China and the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, while expanding their brand influence.
Exhibiting at GITF will give you the chance to meet around 40000 of quality buyers, expand your network, and generate real promotional results.
KEY ADVANTAGES
Powerful Resources
GITF has been deeply rooted in the South China market for over 30 years, maintaining close cooperation with major travel agencies in the region, authoritative tourism associations, the GBA '9+2' Cities Travel Agency Alliance, as well as provincial and municipal tourism boards.

GITF2025 COMMENTS
Buddhika Hewawasam
Chairman of Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau
GITF is a really exciting and important travel fair for us. We've been coming here for over 10 years, and every time we get great feedback from the trade, especially from our partners in China. Honestly, among all the fairs we join, GITF has been the most successful one for us. China is one of our key markets — super important for us. Plus, China is really well connected with Sri Lanka, so it's always great to be here.
Feruz Dodiev
Adviser to Chairman of Tourism Committee of Uzbekistan
I think this event is quite important because Guangdong is one of the largest and most promising markets in China for both inbound and outbound tourism. We are glad to participate in GITF 2025. Through this fair, we can not only reach the Guangdong market but also neighboring areas like Guilin, Hong Kong, and Macao. This is a very good location to explore the Greater Bay Area of China.
Hu Yiming
Chairman of Guangdong China Travel Service Co.,Ltd. (GDCTS)
With the theme "Meaningful Tourism, Enduring Connections", GITF fosters global tourism innovation. We joined hands with partners from 55 countries, highlighting three key achievements: China's first polar cruise, Shanwei eco-cultural tours, and the "Sing and Travel Shanxi" music IP. Five industry forums promoted "Culture + Sports" integration, injecting vitality into the Greater Bay Area. We wish GITF continued success in leading future tourism trends.

As a key barometer of industry trends, GITF not only offers deep insights into regional tourism dynamics but also highlights new paths for market value growth. With Guangzhou Comfort's rising strength, this year's booth scale and on-site revenue both hit new highs. Leveraging the GITF platform, the company amplified its brand presence and diversified its profit channels.
