Romania will participate from March 9 to 13, as a partner country, in the jubilee edition of ITB (Internationale Tourismusbörse) Berlin, the world's biggest travel fair. 

"2016 is a very important year both for Romania's presence at ITB, as well as for the event itself. This year, attending the ITB will be 180,000 participants from over 180 countries. In 2016, ITB has gathered 20 partner countries, including Romania. The central idea is that Danube unites. Romania will thus point, at its stand, several reference events.

In 2016, the largest travel fair in the world, ITB Berlin, is celebrating its 50th anniversary, marking a global successful story "made in Berlin". Romania has been present at ITB Berlin with a national stand ever since 1970. The area of Romania's stand at ITB Berlin is some 400 square meters in 2016.
