Preparation

Getting your website ready for ITB Berlin

A simple plan around the dates of ITB Berlin. Adjust it to your team and your products.

  1. Step 1

    8 weeks before

    Open your website on a phone as a visitor would and note what is slow or unclear. List what you will show at ITB Berlin in the Tourism, Travel & MICE sector and check that each item has its own page.

  2. Step 2

    4 weeks before

    Describe each offer in plain words: who it is for, what problem it solves and how a visitor gets in touch. Add the languages your visitors read and a QR code that leads to a page made for ITB Berlin.

  3. Step 3

    Fair week

    Test your contact form and the e-mail it sends on a phone. Capture every contact at the stand with one method and note what each visitor asked for.

  4. Step 4

    2 weeks after

    Reply to every contact from ITB Berlin within days. Update your pages with the questions you heard most at the stand.

For tourism, travel and MICE exhibitors

What a tourism, travel and MICE website should show

Tour operators and event planners look for clear venue details, capacity figures and a working group contact on your site, both before a fair and when they follow up afterwards.

Dedicated venue pages

Before the fair, check that each destination, property or venue has its own page with room counts, meeting capacity and a contact for group enquiries that works.

Fast mobile galleries

Planners often open your site on a phone at the stand, so test how fast your venue galleries and floor plans load on mobile data.

Source-market languages

Offer your site in the languages of your source markets, so an incoming tour operator can read your group rates and package descriptions without translation.

QR code to fair page

Put a QR code on your stand that leads to a fair page with your MICE brochure and contact form, then scan each visitor's business card to log the conversation.
