Switzerland’s premier event for tourism professionals

The show is now in its 22nd year, and there are more than 300 exhibitors expected to attend and they come from more than 50 different countries.

In addition to the usual B2C offering dedicated to the general public, we have created a new concept to provide professionals with as many networking and business opportunities as possible.

The event stems from our company’s 20 years of experience in organizing B2B tourism events such as Meeting Luxury, MITM (the trade market of the MICE world) and numerous international workshops (Amsterdam, Munich, Vienna, etc.).

Thanks to a handy online agenda, buyers will be able to browse the profiles of SIHE exhibitors and book business appointments with them.

Access to the appointment agenda is reserved for buyers selected by the show’s organizing secretariat, i.e., tourism professionals decision-making authority for purchases.

NB Trade visitors who are not included in the online agenda or who have not pre-accredited can still accredit directly at the info-point reserved for them and enter the fair free of charge.

How does the appointment book work?

Both accredited buyers and exhibitors at the show will have access to an app to do matching and create a real agenda-appointments to maximize productivity during the show.

Buyers and sellers will be profiled according to company type, origin, target audience and interests and will have a comprehensive description of their demand or supply and entered into the beautiful online system by the show organizing secretariat.

After entry and activation you will receive credentials to access your reserved area from which you can directly contact the operators present by selecting them thanks to an effective search engine.

Once appointments are confirmed by both parties, the software schedules an agenda that allows the buyer to show up at the trade show with a precise schedule of meetings at the booths.

At the fair, appointments last about 15 minutes each.
