ITE Travel Event and Sales Director Maria Badakh and Senior Event and Sales Manager Zeljka Tomljenovic
Welcome to the latest newsletter from ITE’s Travel & Tourism events Division.
We were delighted with the success of this year’s MITT and UITT events and thank all of our clients for their support and help.  We hope you were able to participate in the exhibitions this year and that you found them effective in generating business for your company.  If you would like to share your experiences, please feel free to get in touch.

Now that the 2008 events are over, the ITE Travel Team is by no means sitting back and relaxing!  On the contrary, the team has been working hard towards the 2009 events to ensure we keep up with our exhibitors’ expectations.

We are very happy to announce that Dubai will be the official partner destination for both MITT and UITT in 2009.  The agreement is part of Dubai’s ambitious plans for the Russian and Ukrainian markets. In addition, ATA has signed an agreement for joint promotion with MITT.

This year, there are a number of new initiatives for MITT, including a video festival and a wild card programme to encourage new destinations to come to Russia.  Meanwhile, sales are flooding in for next year’s events and Bulgaria has increased its stand at UITT by 50%, becoming the third-largest exhibitor. 

If you have not yet discovered MITT and UITT for yourselves, please get in touch and we will be happy to show you how the exhibitions can benefit your company.


Best regards,

The ITE Travel & Tourism Team
