The fair aims to identify new trends, survey offers and destinations, compare services, place orders, and build and maintain networks. It also serves as a platform for exchanging experiences and gathering new ideas. It is accompanied by various hospitality events and the TrendForum, which serves as an annual central meeting point, offering insights into current industry topics and future perspectives. The specific focus on bus and group tourism makes the RDA Group Travel Expo a unique event that offers deep insights into the diversity and dynamics of this sector. Thanks to its tradition and focus on an international professional audience, it plays a crucial role in shaping the future of the European bus travel market.
