Onetrip with local’s Adventure at ITB Berlin 2025: A Global Tourism Milestone

Onetrip with local reached a significant milestone as Cong attended ITB for the first time—ITB Berlin 2025 was an incredible experience.

This year’s event broke records with 5,800 exhibitors and 100,000 visitors, demonstrating the global tourism industry’s strong recovery.

Exploring Through Guided Tours

The expertly organized guided tours provided an excellent overview of the massive exhibition space. Each tour offered unique insights into different tourism sectors, from sustainable travel initiatives to luxury destinations. The knowledgeable guides helped navigate through the bustling halls, ensuring we didn’t miss any key highlights. Cong joined “Beyond the lobby – spotlight on new products in the hotel industry” led by accommodation experts, which offered fascinating insights into industry trends.

Networking with Industry Partners

One of the most valuable aspects of ITB Berlin was the opportunity to connect with industry partners and stakeholders. The event facilitated meaningful discussions about potential collaborations and emerging trends in the travel industry. The diversity of participants, from hotel chains to tour operators, created a rich environment for business networking.

It was the first time Onetrip with local connected with a Bhutanese travel company. We hope this is the first step toward bringing guests beyond Vietnam. Cong also met representatives from software, IT, and travel insurance companies.
