Apex Ecosystem

Why this directory exists

Three pipelines, rarely found in one organisation

A travel show needs buyers and the travel trade, destinations and hospitality, and commercial exhibitors and sponsors. The directory shows which organisation feeds which pipeline.

Buyers & travel trade

Travel agent and tour operator associations, agency networks, corporate travel and MICE bodies — hosted buyers, agents and trade visitors for the Thursday B2B Travel Market.

Destinations & hospitality

Tourism organisations, destination alliances and hotel federations — tourism boards, hotel groups, resorts and delegations.

Industry & exhibitors

Cruise, airline, golf, wellness, adventure and travel technology networks — exhibitors, sponsors and stage presentations.

Level 1

Global & umbrella organisations

The bodies that sit above national associations and connect the travel industry across regions.
