HONG KONG – Don’t just dream the world; meet it in Wan Chai. The International Travel Expo 2026 is set to return to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre for its 40th curtain call from June 11 to 14.

Co-located with the 21st MICE Travel Expo, trade gets first claim from June 11 through the morning of the next day. Ordinary visitors can roll in from June 12 afternoon to June 14.

Total 400 exhibitors will join the expo, 80 percent from outside Hong Kong, representing 50-odd countries and regions across Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and the Americas. The Chinese mainland contingent bulks up by a third – the biggest booth on the floor, again.

An Ice & Snow Travel zone debuts this year, with northern Canada, Iceland, and China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, Beijing, and Chongli of Hebei province – all huddled in one frosty frame. The highlights also include an AI-powered booth that will walk people through 40 years of expo history, all the way back to Hong Kong 1936.
