FAIR INFO
The Travel Basel starts in 2024 with a new look and under a
new name!
Basel will once again have a holiday fair and thus the unique LIVE advertising platform of this size in northwestern Switzerland with the theme of holidays and leisure.
But it's not just the location that complements the existing holiday fair offerings, but also the date in November.
Even though January is still one of the strongest booking months, the majority of interested exhibitors prefer to take part in November for the following reasons:
● Long-distance trips in particular are being booked earlier and earlier, especially camper holidays in the
USA, Canada or even Oceania. But also on vacation in South America, Africa or
Tailor-made travel offers within Europe, especially in the north, are the same
very similar.
● When you are present at the holiday fair, you reach the visitor in their own way
“Summer vacation planning phase”.
● In November, many tour operators and agencies simply have more time to
participate in the holiday fair and then process the inquiries.
This also has to do with the tense personnel situation that still exists in many places.
● November is also ideal for advertising ski holidays in the mountains,
e.g. for the upcoming sports holidays in February, as these tend to be much later
booked.
Venue and hall concept
Basel is ideal for holding a public trade fair with the themes of holidays and leisure because:
-
Basel is the third largest city in Switzerland and has 174,063 inhabitants and 90,707 households (as of 2022). The canton of Basel-Stadt, which includes two surrounding communities, is inhabited by almost 200,000 people.
-
The location at the border triangle is attractive and the trinational catchment area includes around 1 million inhabitants.
Exhibitors - subject areas
As we are the only public event with the themes of travel and leisure at Messe Basel, we would like to give the fair a broader base and also include areas that attractively complement a holiday fair and "loosen it up" a bit.
